For almost 12 years, I have had the privilege of working at DC Volunteer Lawyers Project. Working at this organization and partnering with an incredible team and truly changing people’s lives is one of the greatest privileges of my life.

The sad reality is that every day, 3-4 women in the United States are murdered by a current or former intimate partner.

A life free from violence is a basic human right and having an attorney shouldn't depend on whether or not you can afford one. That's why DCVLP recruits, trains, and supervises a network of 600+ volunteer lawyers who represent thousands of clients each year in their protective order, custody, divorce, guardianship, and immigration matters.

October 24th kicks off DCVLP's 4th annual For The Good campaign with a 24-hour Day of Giving. Every $1 donated becomes $6 in free legal services that helps close the justice gap for DC & MD residents who need it most. Join me in supporting the important work of DCVLP by making a gift #ForTheGood!
