Helping Domestic Violence Survivors
Serving domestic violence survivors is
one of LSNV’s highest priorities. The organization is
sponsoring an innovative and ambitious new project designed to
provide increased legal representation to survivors of
domestic violence in Fairfax County. The goal of the program
is to have 100 local lawyers donate up to 2 days of their time
each year to representing domestic violence survivors in
protective order hearings. By signing up for particular days
well in advance, volunteer attorneys will have a
predictable schedule and a very limited time
commitment. To introduce the project and to provide
comprehensive training for attorneys, LSNV can schedule a free
viewing of a videotape of a recent CLE that includes a
presentation on the procedure and evidence in protective order
cases, tips and pointers from the bench, and a mock trial.
LSNV’s experienced staff will also provide ongoing mentoring
to any interested attorneys. A law degree is a powerful tool
with which you can help make our community safer. Please
join us in this effort. For more information, please call
(703) 246-4379.

Our Clients
|
LSNV assisted me in obtaining a protective order against
additional domestic violence. LSNV was also
successful in securing a court order awarding my custody
of my daughter, child and spousal support, and an
equitable division of marital property. I was able
to live in a secure and stable home environment free of
abuse...Sandra...Fairfax
