What We Do
Since 2008, we have provided comprehensive, pro bono legal assistance to domestic violence victims, including victims of dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and gender-based violence, at‐risk children living with abuse, neglect, domestic violence, and other dangerous circumstances, and vulnerable immigrant populations seeking humanitarian forms of immigration relief in Washington, DC. DCVLP attorneys represent victims in civil protection order, family law, and immigration cases.
To maximize the client’s chances of escaping violence and establish a safe and stable home, DCVLP’s Client Advocates provide safety planning, trauma-informed crisis intervention, ongoing emotional support, and access to critical social services such as housing assistance, counseling, and parenting classes from our many partners.
