Fighting for Domestic Violence Victims & At-Risk Children

The DC Volunteer Lawyers Project provides pro bono legal assistance to hundreds of domestic violence victims and at-risk children each year. Our dedicated volunteer and staff attorneys handle protection order and family law cases on behalf of victims, and serve as court-appointed advocates for vulnerable children living with abuse, neglect and other difficult circumstances.

We also operate a weekly Domestic Violence Resource Clinic where victims can access legal, housing and counseling services in one, convenient location and assist victims at the Domestic Violence Intake Center located at DC Superior Court. Our Client Advocate provides safety planning, crisis counseling and access to social services throughout the legal process.
