Even before COVID-19, victims needing protection orders had major barriers in accessing the existing systems across Washington state. These included the inability to visit during office hours, transportation challenges or not having the freedom or privacy to visit the court without making the matters worse.

LegalAtoms makes it easy for your constituents to get protection orders by making the process friendly, and it cuts your costs by increasing the efficiency of your existing team.

LegalAtoms focuses only on Washington to keep it 100% updated and accurate at any given time.
