Wings for Justice

Advocacy Application

Advocates offer legal and emotional support to clients and their children who have entered into the family court system.  Advocates educate, provide resources, and a support system to clients  in a mentally and emotionally challenging process.  Advocates do not function in a professional capacity as attorneys or therapists. Advocates are trained volunteers in both legal and emotional advocacy.
