Our SafePlace Legal advocates are available to provide in-court advocacy and support on an as-needed basis depending on availability. SafePlace also hosts a FREE Legal Clinic for those seeking legal advice! The SafePlace Free Legal Clinic is the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month and is by appointment only.
To receive information about in-court support, legal clinic, safety planning or other resources, call our HelpLine: (360) 754-6300 (TTY: 711) and ask your advocate about completing a legal referral.

Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Protective Orders
SafePlace Legal Advocates can now assist clients with filing Thurston County Domestic Violence Protection Orders and Sexual Assault Protection Orders from the SafePlace Community Services Center. Formerly, clients had to visit the courthouse in order to fill out Protection Order paperwork. This partnership with Family and Juvenile Court allows SafePlace clients to quickly take measures to ensure safety for themselves and their children, all with support from a trained advocate. To find out more about filing a Protective Order, please call our HelpLine at 360 754 6300.
SafePlace and Sound Legal Aid Legal Clinic
The SafePlace Legal Clinic is held the first and third Thursday of each month at the SafePlace Community Services Office beginning at 5:00PM and by appointment only. Because advocates cannot give legal advice or provide representation, we work in partnership with Sound Legal Aid.
We bring experienced attorneys and SafePlace advocates together at our office to help you navigate complex legal systems. This clinic is provided for those who have experienced sexual or domestic violence issues or cases related to or resulting from that violence. We’re unable to provide childcare during your appointment, so please make arrangements for your children.
Again, please note the attorneys you meet with cannot represent you or go with you to court. They are here to help you represent yourself and advise you on how to fill out paperwork.
For questions about our Legal Clinic, please call our business office at 360-786-8754.

SafePlace Court Support
You can check with a SafePlace advocate about having someone support you at court. You can also ask an advocate if you need SafePlace services, community resources or safety planning.
