Legal Services

Survivors of sexual violence may choose to seek justice or secure their rights through the legal system. High-quality legal assistance can help ease their worry, reclaim security, and redefine hope. Like all Clove Alliance offerings, legal services are confidential and free of charge. Please note that case selection is dependent on available resources and not guaranteed.
