"I love helping clients take a step towards being safe. Applying for a restraining order can be a step towards that process. Although sometimes the stories are hard to hear. I get a chance to listen to them and help them maneuver through the confusing paperwork at a time when they are feeling alone and vulnerable.
I am proud to be a member of this organization."
