We provide free jail hotline support for protests and demonstrations.
As practicable and subject to our resources, we provide free jail hotline support for protests and demonstrations. This volunteer-led service must be requested in advance to ensure that an NLG Seattle Chapter Member is on-hand to accept activists’ calls from jail.
The NLG mass defense program assists progressive protesters in finding legal representation for criminal and civil cases arising out of their activism. We do not have our own attorneys on staff, but we try to find referrals among our network of attorney members. Please email us at nationallawyersguildseattle@gmail.com to inquire about our lawyer referral program.
Please note that our attorney network is small, and the participating attorneys set their own terms, including fees, for representation. In order to stretch our attorney resources as far as possible, we ask that activists contribute towards the cost of their defense if able to, and to consider representation by King County’s nationally renowned public defenders if eligible.
If we’ve confirmed that we’ll staff the jail hotline the day of your action, we will provide you instructions for use and sharing of the number.
In addition to accepting calls from jail that are related to the demonstration/protest, upon the arrested activist’s request, we will do our best to connect the arrested activist with a pro bono or reduced fee network of criminal defense attorneys who are willing to at least represent the activist(s) during initial hearings.
Please note that we cannot guarantee the availability or affordability of legal representation.
