• Domestic abuse and violence • Criminal cases • Civil cases • Court advocates

Our advocates are available to discuss legal options and situations with survivors of domestic violence. Sometimes survivors can be hesitant to take legal action. Taking the steps to call the police or file a police report is not always an easy decision to make. Court advocates are here to deal with human issues in the legal system and to help survivors stay as safe as possible.
