What is legal advocacy?

The court system can be a very confusing and intimidating place. Women and Children’s Horizons Legal Advocacy Program can assist a victim through the criminal justice process, restraining orders, and family courts such as divorces, legal separations and child custody issues. Advocates are not lawyers. Advocates are available for support, information regarding court processes and their rights, court accompaniment, and help filing important documents.
