A Friday Afternoon Well-Spent

After a teenage girl’s first protective order expired, her ex-boyfriend began harassing her again. It quickly became obvious she needed another protective order against him. Former AVLF Board President and passionate volunteer Elizabeth Finn Johnson offered to represent her. 

The day before the protective order hearing, this woman received numerous academic and athletic scholarships. She couldn’t wait to begin college life away from her ex-boyfriend’s constant threats and harassment.

The hearing lasted nearly six hours on a Friday afternoon. Thanks to Elizabeth’s tireless work, the protective order was granted. Now this teenager can focus on graduation and following her academic dreams without constantly looking over her shoulder.
