Washington Request for Pro Bono Mediation is a program sponsored by the Washington State Bar Association (SBA) that provides free mediation services to low-income individuals and families. It is designed to assist individuals and families in resolving disputes quickly, inexpensively, and without the need for litigation. The program is open to any person who is not able to afford legal representation or other forms of dispute resolution. The program offers two types of mediation: Family and General. Family mediation focuses on issues such as child custody, parenting plans, and spousal maintenance. General mediation covers issues such as consumer complaints, neighborhood conflicts, and landlord/tenant disputes. In order to qualify for the program, individuals must meet certain criteria, including being a resident of Washington state, having a household income of 200% or less of the federal poverty level, and demonstrating that they are unable to afford to pay for mediation services. The program is administered by the SBA Pro Bono Services Office, which provides resources and support to individuals and families seeking mediation services. It also helps to match qualified individuals with experienced mediators. In addition to providing free mediation services, the Washington Request for Pro Bono Mediation program also provides free educational materials and resources to help individuals understand the mediation process and make informed decisions.
