LACLJ attorneys work with clients to do a comprehensive legal assessment to identify a whole range of legal problems connected to domestic violence and sexual assault. Depending on the case and the client’s goals, LACLJ can either provide representation or refer clients to an LACLJ partner to best meet a survivor’s needs.
Civil Advocacy
LACLJ can provide advocacy in housing, education and employment. This can include helping survivors keep their apartment or break a lease, change schools or take time off of work.
Criminal Justice Advocacy
Protecting Victim Rights in the Criminal Justice System: In cases where the abusive person is prosecuted in a criminal case, survivors have the right to keep their medical, counseling and education records private and to certain information and documents pertaining to the criminal case. LACLJ attorneys can represent the victim in the criminal case to make sure their rights are protected.
