Tacomaprobono Community Lawyers - Tacoma, Washington

When I first tried calling to make an appointment no one would answer the phone or call me back. After a week I decided to walk in well after showing up at 9 am they told me to come back at 1 pm. I then returned at 1pm to be told that my appointment has to be 3-4 weeks out. So I made it. When I finally returned I was greeted by a attorney that I which in my opinion seemed to be aggressive and not wanting to be there. I felt he didn't have the compassion to help others being (Tacoma probono). He was very argumentative and I didn't feel heard. He would cut me off at beginning sentences. He raised his voice repeatedly to where others outside the room heard him. I felt a lot of intimidation being thrown and brushed off. Didn't receive but little to none on help but more confirming what I already new and done. I just feel if you work probono you should have a drive to want to help others and not make them feel like it's a huge burden of there time. The people that search for this help are human beings treat them with respect.

People need to understand that legal aid is a very underfunded and limited resource. This agency receives thousands of requests for service each year and they help as many as they possibly can. They are not government employees, do not get paid as such and truly do this work because they believe legal aid is a human right.

Consultation attorney called 48 minutes late, was incredibly rude from the start, and gave inaccurate information that 2 other lawyers discounted. Do not recommend, just pay for a lawyer.

I thought this place helps low income people. I need help with a garnishment from a local car company that sold me a car that the engine blew 3 weeks after purchasing. After an attorney called me, (which sounded 80 yrs old and confused) he was no help, told me I could file a form that I have no idea about. I explained I had a dv victim history and was very unsympathetic to that. If I had $ I could hire an attorney to represent me. I didn't know they won't represent you and just give you advice to represent yourself. I could have saved time and googled the advice myself. I'm sure this is a non-profit that gets federal $ so they get paid regardless if they actually help people. The court system and probono are both a joke.

I really don't know what to say. I went there once, was told to come in. Wasn't able to be seen. Come back maybe a month later with an appointment that I had to confirm over the phone, and they tell me I didn't confirm via text, when there was nothing to confirm in their texts. Waste of gas, they would not see me. Was given an appointment over the phone, and just now was told they had to cancel me. This is ridiculous!!

I called with a serious civil rights violation case and they called me today 4/29/2024 to take all of my information and then told me that they have no lawyers to speak with me and that they wont be scheduling me an appointment.

These people seem like monsters.

The phone was so distorted I couldnt hear most of what she was saying and she had to say everything twice.

Run away from these fake volunteers.

Seems from their questionnaire like they only help illigal immigrants and not law abiding citizens as it does reference illigals in the form process.

Recently I found myself in a situation I wasn’t expecting, thankfully after some research and a referral I was connected to Tacoma ProBono. Thankfully!! My attorney through them has been so amazing, very empathetic, & always very caring. He is all around a great man with a great passion for helping his community & it shows by the work that he does! His name is S. Ashraf Meer & if you find yourself needing any kind of assistance, in housing court, ask for him! He definitely has been so amazing. Thank you again. For all your hard work and dedicated time!!
