Legal Advocacy

Abuse and assault, including domestic, dating and sexual violence, exploitation, and stalking are traumatic events for survivors. Abuse may have both immediate and long-term impacts. The response to abuse and assault may involve police, other investigators, medical responders, evidence collection, and criminal and/or civil proceedings.
