Criminal & Legal Advocacy

Advocates help victim/survivors of domestic violence navigate the criminal and civil legal systems by providing information about the court processes associated with any ongoing criminal or civil domestic abuse cases. Advocates also assist in writing Orders of Protection/ Harassment Restraining Orders and accompany individuals to any subsequent hearings for those orders. In addition, advocates review and follow up with victim/survivors on any domestic assault-related police report in the city of Minneapolis when an arrest has been made. Advocates who attend criminal court work as an independent support to victim/survivors of misdemeanor domestic assault cases and are bound by confidentiality.
