It is normal for survivors to have questions like these and not know what to do next when confronting abuse. Our trauma-informed advocates and case managers walk survivors through their options and help them determine the best legal solutions for their situations. Case managers also connect survivors to community resources that help them take a step towards freedom and a safer world. Survivors are never alone. #DVAM #DomesticAbuseAwareness #EndDV #MakingJusticeReal4SoCal

It's Pro Bono Month! We are so grateful to our pro bono attorneys who increase our capacity to provide compassionate, holistic, and impactful legal services. Thank you for all that you do! ??

It takes lots of strength to leave an abusive relationship, especially since many women are often dismissed or discredited when they share their experiences. We choose to use 'survivor' when talking about women who have experienced domestic abuse because: ??It shows incredible strength and courage ??it focuses on the individual's personal journey of healing ??it emphasizes hope If you are a survivor in need of legal services, please reach out to us for support. Our Family Law and Immigration Units can help you and your children obtain freedom and safety.?#DVAM?#domesticabuseawareness

We are overwhelmed by the generosity of our Justice Served attendees and sponsors. Our supporters make so much possible for our clients, staff, and future law clerks. Thank you for supporting Community Legal Aid SoCal. ?
