Expert Advice When You Need It Most

In need of a low income/sliding scale lawyer in Seattle for a Family Law case.

Asked over 2 years ago - Seattle, WA

I am incredibly poor, I have been to the legal clinic and have received referrals but they all seem to be dead ends. We have our first hearing on July 2nd and I am so lost. I have spent 10 days doing my own research but now I'm just more confused than ever. Are there any lawyers out there that participate in low income/sliding scale/pro bono cases? I am desperate. To further explain, here is a question I asked regarding the case before it started:
I need to move out of state and I would like the custody plan to make it so I have them for school years and the father will have them during summers and some holidays but he wants the exact same thing. He makes over $100,000 a year while I am barely employed due to the position he has put me in.

Additional information
WOW. you people are ruthless. i have spent the past 10 days preparing myself with all forms needed, researching how to represent myself, gathering exhibits. Also, maybe read what I write a bit harder. IF I move, I have a GUARANTEED job, the ability to go to school, a car, a more reasonable cost of living, a beautiful house in an incredible family neighborhood and FAMILY. I posted here asking for lawyer info because all 8 referrals I got were dead-ends for me. You don't know me or the story regarding these 6 year old twins so STOP JUDGING ME, I'll get enough of that in court. It must make you feel good to kick someone when all they need is a bit of information to become a better role model, mother & part of society.
