After I filled everything out, I was able to print it out and bring it into the courthouse. When I got to the courthouse, they were able to go through and accept it all. I had no problems.

"LegalAtoms accurately creates the divorce application. We had an uncontested case with no assets but we still wanted to ensure that the paper work is just right. I filed at Spokane County and everything went fine"

"LegalAtoms informed me about important distinctions in parenting plan and child support, which has positively changed my post divorce life. It gave me several options for the parenting plan. Educating myself helped me secure a more favorable arragement where I get to spend time with my children not just based on my ex's availability but also my own convenience"

"LegalAtoms lawyer was very knowledgeable and guided me through the divorce process. We disagreed on child custody and went on to the route of mediation. That was a better outcome than a trial. The lawyer's work was very superb, something I really appreciate now looking back at a very difficult period in my life."

The program is a way to resolve landlords and tenant disputes and connect them with COVID rental assistance, before the landlords pursue court action.
As the eviction moratorium is lifted in Washington by October 31st 2021, there is an expectation that a a large number of eviction actions that would likely be initiated in superior courts across the state.
The Supreme Court of Washington, therefore Washington setup the Eviction Resolution Pilot Program (ERPP). At the moment six relatively more populous counties -- King, Pierce, Snohomish, Clark, Spokane and Thurston -- have set up this program.
