Major Activities

Activity 2

LEGAL SERVICESCritical legal services are provided by legal advocates, staff and volunteer attorneys, and legal interns to more than 3,600 individuals each year. Attorneys and advocates help family violence victims obtain life-saving Orders for Protection, securing more than 850 annually, and advocates provide needed support to over 1,500 victims in criminal court proceedings. Attorneys, assisted by law student and paralegal interns, provide legal representation, advice, and information primarily in family law matters, assisting families through difficult life transitions to a safe and stable future. Most clients are between 23 and 54 years old and 80 percent have low or no incomes. The Lethality Assessment Project is a partnership between Tubman and the criminal justice system agencies of Washington County. The goal of the Project is to reduce domestic violence homicides, serious injury and re-assault in Washington County through a coordinated criminal justice system approach that identifies high risk offenders, immediately connects victims in high danger to domestic violence services, makes risk assessment information readily available to be considered by the courts in decisions relating to bail and pre-trial release, and provides enhanced supervision of high risk offenders.
