Our Court Advocates provide emotional and informational support for survivors of domestic violence as they engage in the civil or criminal legal system. These services include, but are not limited to, matters involving criminal charges against the batterer, matters involving criminal charges against the survivor, obtaining and enforcing personal orders of protection, pursuing divorce and child custody issues, and other matters. Court Advocates can assist with filing paperwork for protective orders, accompanying survivors to court proceedings, and connecting survivors with other community resources.

With a team of compassionate professionals, we offer support and guidance to help individuals break free from abusive situations and rebuild their lives. Our hotline provides crisis management, emergency shelter requests, referrals, and information. This hotline is always monitored by a staff member.
