As part of AVLF's dedication to helping domestic violence victims permanently break free from the cycle of violence, AVLF assists victims in finding attorneys to handle their divorce cases.

Clients must complete a simple intake process and meet certain qualifications.  They are then referred to an attorney who will either represent them pro bono or at a reduced rate, when applicable.

AVLF is presently able to assist only victims who have participated in our Domestic Violence Project; however, as our pool of volunteers increases, we will offer this service to any domestic violence victim.

To complete an intake questionnaire, send an email to dsmith@avlf.org.
