Washington Attorneys And Law Firms In District of Columbia

Formally known as the District of Columbia, and informally just as “DC” - Washington, DC is both the capital city and the sole federal district of the United States. Named after George Washington, the US’s first president and one the country’s founding fathers, Washington, DC has a special status - wherein under the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, it is neither part of any state nor can be one itself. It is the only region that has the US Congress' exclusive jurisdiction. Despite its tight security and status as one of the most politically important and most-visited cities in the world, the District of Columbia has a crime rate of 60 per 1,000 people. The most common crimes are homicides, aggravated assaults and assaults with deadly weapons.

The District of Columbia has over 79,177 actively practicing lawyers working across a wide range of areas including (but not limited to) the government, the private sector, in non-profits and as consultants and solo practitioners. Legal aid is available to all those who are earning below a certain income level. The Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia is the oldest organization in this regard - it was established in 1932. Other than that, the D.C. Bar sponsors its own Pro Bono Center, which is responsible for offering legal advice, and setting up resource centers and referral clinics. The federal district is also home to the Nonprofit Legal Assistance Program, which offers special legal help to community-oriented non-profit organizations.
