Eastside Legal Assistance Program

The Eastside Legal Assistance Program (ELAP) is a non-profit organization providing free or low-cost, high quality civil legal services to low-income residents of East and Northeast King County, Washington and Domestic Violence legal aid throughout King County, Washington.

ELAP has over 130 volunteer attorneys, a staff attorney and a paralegal to provide civil legal aid services.

In 2009 ELAP celebrated its 20th Anniversary. Since opening our doors we have served over 50,000 low-income residents of King County. The need for civil legal aid today is even greater than 20 years ago. We stand ready to meet this need.
