Is there a body which can provide me with all the basic legal information that I may need for fighting a case, in Washington DC
Yes, it is the bar association of Washington DC which is called the District of Columbia Bar. It is the second largest unified bar association in the United States.
Representation of lawyers is the main function of the bar which also keeps a system in place for the lawyers to function within. They assist with finding a suitable lawyer and with legal information pertaining to consumer cases, divorce cases, corporations' disputes, environment issues etc. They even run a helpline for the purpose.
