The Legal Representation Project of Safe Alliance provides free legal services to victims of sexual assault and domestic violence in DVPO and custody cases in Mecklenburg County.

Note: While our volunteers are not required to speak other languages, it is always helpful to have volunteers with other language skills to assist our non-English speaking clients.
