Legal Services

1736 Family Crisis Center provides comprehensive, in-house legal services so that crime survivors and homeless veterans can easily access legal aid and adequate court represention. The agency’s in-house Legal Services Department was established in 2007 in response to increasingly complex legal needs of its clients who were victims of crime. In-house legal services include court representation, restraining orders, child custody/visitation, divorce proceedings, paternity establishment, and child and spousal support. Additional legal services include consumer bankruptcy, access to benefits, and other aid.  Legal services - combined with 1736 FCC’s case management, counseling and other ancillary services - ensures a lasting positive impact on clients’ lives. Referrals are made by staff, governmental agencies, and locally-based organizations.
