CLEAR, Coordinated Legal Education, Advice and Referral
Northwest Justice Project
CLEAR is the statewide intake and referral system for low-income people in Washington with civil legal problems. Callers receive legal advice, brief services, or a referral to a volunteer or staff attorney for ongoing representation. Inside King County, callers are routed to the 211 Legal Referral and Information Hotline; outside King County, callers reach CLEAR directly. Specialized lines exist for eviction (1-855-657-8387) and foreclosure (1-800-606-4819).
