Representing Survivors Of Violence
Legal Representation for Survivors of Violence
Helping Survivors
Survivors of violence, and their families can have their lives torn apart by their experiences. This can be exacerbated for immigrant families that cannot afford legal representation. The already vulnerable are made helpless in many domestic violence scenarios.
We believe in protecting the rights of those who, through no fault of their own, are unable to protect them.
Relief Fund specializes in providing holistic and trauma informed lawyering for victims of violence, particularly survivors of domestic violence and their families. We’re on the cutting edge of gender-based asylum claims in immigration court, and before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Who Benefits From Our Services
To put it simply: society’s most vulnerable people benefit from the low cost or pro bono legal representation that Relief Fund proudly provides. Children, women, and LGBTQ survivors of domestic and other forms of violence. We give a legal voice to the voiceless.
High Quality Legal Representation
Relief Fund is able to provide hundreds of deserving families with legal representation every year, thanks to support from the private sector. The high-quality legal representation these families receive is of incalculable value to them, and truly changes their lives.

Some of the most vulnerable immigrants seek out help at Relief Fund because they do not know where else to turn to. They depend on us to help from start to finish. And that’s what we do – we do not refer cases; we finish the hardest cases from the start.
We rely on your contributions to provide free and low cost representation in court. Your donations go directly to supporting our programs.
By donating to our cause, you directly help to provide vital legal services to minors, survivors of violence, and refugees. Your donation is crucial to the immigrant community. Without donations from people like you, we would be unable to help as many people in need as we do. We appreciate your support!
