More About Limited License Legal Technicians

A Limited License Legal Technician, also known as a legal technician, or a "Triple L-T", is licensed by the Washington Supreme Court to assist and advise individuals going through divorce, child custody, and other family law matters in Washington state.

A legal technician provides 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. When you're unable to afford the high-price of an attorney but don't know where to turn, a legal technician in an affordable alternative for your family law needs.

Limited License Legal Technicians are not lawyers but are specialized legal practitioners in Washington state (and the first of its kind in the United States). LLLTs are regulated by the Washington State Bar Association. They must meet the experience and educational requirements, pass a national core competency exam, and pass the LLLT licensure Bar exam, including an Ethics portion of the exam, through the Washington State Bar Association before being sworn in and licensed to practice family law. LLLTs are licensed only in family law under APR 28.
