The Pro Bono Safety Project

The Pro Bono Safety Project provides quality pro bono legal representation to low-income battered women seeking Orders for Protection (OFP) who have a compelling need for legal assistance. Legal advocates at domestic abuse agencies refer clients, Chrysalis screens clients and gathers case information; and volunteer attorneys represent clients in OFP hearings.
