Background

In LegalAtoms client accounts are used by an average person trying to create paperwork

Then there are professional accounts used by Court Clerks, Advocates, Non Profits, Interns, Lawyers, Translators etc -- all folks who have some kind of expertise and work with clients

LegalAtoms allows professionals to view a client's case. A client has to give the permissions to the professional. Examples are

• When a King county resident clicks "Share with Advocate" and completes a few steps to seek help from Protection Order Advocacy Program
• When a Snohomish county resident E-files a Protection Order
• When a client seeks helps from Legal Intern serving as part of a LegalClinic
