The DC Volunteer Lawyers Project provides pro bono legal assistance to hundreds of domestic violence victims and at-risk children each year.
In 2016, our dedicated volunteer and staff attorneys handles nearly 400 civil protection order and family law cases on behalf of victims, and served as court-appointed advocates for 104 vulnerable children living with abuse, neglect and other difficult circumstances.
Throughout the legal process, our social worker provides support services to our clients to ensure the best long-term outcomes. With our community partners, we also provided 350 victims with legal, housing and counseling services at our Domestic Violence Clinic.
