Why Legal Help Is Critical
Many survivors hesitate to seek legal help due to fear, shame, or uncertainty about the process. However, legal support can be the difference between continued abuse and lasting safety. Attorneys can help survivors understand their rights, file protective orders, and access benefits that provide stability.
Building a Safer Future
Legal aid is not just about the courtroom—it’s about rebuilding lives. Through injunctions, custody orders, and access to public assistance, survivors can begin to recover emotionally and financially. FRLS also connects clients with trusted community partners for counseling and support services.
