Legal advocacy. Our legal advocate provides personal support and assistance to ensure that victims' interests are represented, and their rights upheld, within the civil and criminal justice systems, including administrative hearings. The legal advocate educates and assists victims about navigating the justice system; evaluating the pros and cons of participating in the legal process; supports access to legal participation; and promotes victims' choices and rights within the legal system. Because dove house also serves victims of any crime, our legal advocate also assists clients who have experienced elder abuse, burglary, identity theft, fraud, etc. To navigate the law enforcement and criminal justice systems.
