GET INVOLVED
The legal system is complex for any pro-se litigant. But for an individual seeking legal redress in matters involving domestic violence and threats to safety and well-being of the client or children, the prospect is particularly daunting.
Representation by a lawyer can help prevent future abuse, decrease homelessness for a client who had to flee the home, prevent loss of custody, and obtain an equitable division of any assets and debts in a divorce.
Attorneys can provide pro bono assistance, or, in the case of contested divorce and custody matters, Legal Aid pays attorney fees at a reduced contract rate.
