Sound Legal Aid

Need help with a legal problem? We’re here to listen and support you.

At Sound Legal Aid, we provide free legal help to people in Thurston, Mason, Lewis, Pacific, and Grays Harbor counties who are facing civil (non-criminal) issues. While we’re able to offer advice and guidance to most clients, legal representation is limited and provided when possible. Whether you receive information, advice, or representation, our team and volunteers are here to help you in the best way we can.

We know that dealing with a legal problem can be stressful and overwhelming, so we always listen with care and respond with compassion. We will do our best to help you understand your options so you can navigate your situation with confidence and support.
