Welcome to

Northwest Legal Technician, P.S.

Affordable legal services can be difficult to find, and 90% of Washington domestic cases have at least one Pre Se party. A “Limited License Legal Technician” or “LLLT” denotes a person qualified by education, training, and work experience who is authorized to engage in the limited practice of law in

family law as specified by APR 28 and related regulations. When you want a cost-effective alternative to paying a lawyer or self-representation/Pro Se and are not willing to compromise on quality, where can you turn? You will find a trustworthy resource in Northwest Legal Technician, P.S.

The savings meter for agreed matters that need the expertise of drafting legal documents that match the agreement of the parties without the high cost of a litigation attorney.

What is a LLLT?

A limited license legal technician, also known as a legal technician or a LLLT, is licensed by the Washington Supreme Court to advise and assist people going through divorce, child custody, and other family law matters in Washington.


Legal technicians provide limited legal services in family law by consulting with and advising clients, completing, and filing necessary court documents, and assisting pro se clients at certain types of hearings and settlement conferences. They also help with court scheduling and support clients in navigating the legal system. LLLTs are well trained, experienced, and competent licensed legal professionals who may be able to provide you with the legal help you need. If you cannot afford a lawyer, a legal technician might be an affordable option for your family law matter.

Disclosure:

As a LLLT I am not an attorney. 

"My wife and I agreed on everything, just needed the expert to put the agreement onto paper legally binding us. We each consulted a LLLT, went to mediation with Barb and couldn’t  be happier. We are still friends; the process was painless and done correctly."

-Sue and Dan

"I wasn’t willing to pay an attorney more than it cost to get married to get divorced. I called a LLLT and for a flat fee she handled it start to finish."

- Steve S.

"I had no idea where or how to start a legal action when my ex took our daughter. I couldn’t afford an attorney. My friend referred me to a LLLT, and it was the best decision I made."

- Lucy R.

"Every time I tried to file my documents something wasn’t correct, and I would be sent to fill out another paper. I called my LLLT, and she had it filed the same day."

- Sarah P.
