Survivor Justice Center

Survivor Justice Center Empowering survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault LACLJ provides free legal representation, education and advocacy.

Our services decrease homelessness, increase family stability and provide safe, violence-free homes for children. LACLJ believes that justice should not be determined by wealth, citizenship, language, or age. We focus on serving families in crisis and those who have the greatest barriers to accessing our judicial system. We help individuals face their adversity with the dignity that they deserve.

We are unique among legal aid programs because we prioritize client-based services, focus on providing direct legal services by our staff attorneys, not volunteers, and we are able to serve individuals regardless of legal status or age. We offer a full range of services, including advice and counsel, preparation of legal documents, and representation in court.
