In addition to providing representation to victims of family violence, the Project also has a Pro Se Clinic through which individuals who are unable to represent themselves can meet with an attorney to discuss their case and how to prepare for the temporary protective order hearing. The Pro Se Clinic is available to all victims of family violence regardless of income. To be eligible, you must be a victim of recent violence or recently threatened with violence. Due to our limited resources we may not be able to provide assistance to everyone who applies. Applications are accepted on a first come first served basis, and therefore it is strongly recommended that you contact us within 24 hours of filing your petition for a protective order.
All applications are subject to approval.
The Family Violence Project is a Joint Project of the Gwinnett Pro Bono Project and the Atlanta Legal Aid Society.
