Legal Services
The legal system can be confusing and hard to navigate. AWP Legal Advocates assist and support victims and survivors of domestic violence in discussing their legal options and navigating the legal system. We can help you understand the court process, assistance with signing up for VINELINK, provide immigration and legal referrals, and more.
Please note that our legal advocates are not attorneys and are not able to provide legal advice or representation.
