A limited license legal technician, also known as a legal technician or a LLLT, is licensed by the Washington Supreme Court to advise and assist people going through divorce, child custody, and other family law matters in Washington.
Legal technicians consult with and advise clients, complete and file necessary court documents, help with court scheduling, and support clients in navigating the legal system.
