Hi- HR person here. $30K with JD sounds way off base. Most DC non profits are paying mid to high $30s for entry level Bachelors degree staff.
I agree with previous posters on getting to DC first and then finding a job when down here. I did the same thing 15 years ago, and got started with a temp/staffing agency and had a full time job within a week. Show up, work hard, have a great attitude, and there are plenty of jobs for you here.
I'd have to know a lot more about you and the jobs that you are applying for to help you figure out the appropriate salary range, but I can tell you that your JD alone should get you no less that $50K in DC, even as a consultant. And that is on the low end.
My advice - talk to some recruiters.
