Moderate Means Program<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, more than 2 million people in Washington were found to be of moderate income, falling between 200% and 400% of the Federal Poverty Level. Many moderate income clients in need of legal services cannot afford a full-fee attorney, yet do not qualify for free civil legal aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statewide Moderate Means Program strives to bridge that gap with reduced-fee assistance in legal cases involving family, housing, consumer, and unemployment issues that is scaled to the client\u2019s income. The Moderate Means Program connects moderate-income clients with a family, housing, consumer, and\/or unemployment legal issue with legal professionals willing to represent them at a reduced rate.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
