Because every survivor of intimate partner violence deserves a lawyer by their side
The mission of SLSLS is to provide zealous advocacy and meaningful access to justice for victims of intimate partner violence and their children, and to educate the St. Louis community about the legal process and resources for those seeking protection. SLSLS helps victims get effective legal relief in the form of thorough and enforceable Orders of Protection and other companion orders.
Our mission at SLSLS
In the US, more than 33% of women have experienced intimate partner violence. In St. Louis City and County, only 10% of people seeking orders of protection have lawyers.
Our work is possible because of the dedication and commitment of both our attorney and non-attorney volunteers. By joining us, you become a beacon of hope, empowering survivors.
