This webinar will explore how victims of domestic violence can use civil lawsuits to obtain justice, hold responsible parties accountable, and obtain the financial resources needed to rebuild their lives. Attorneys can assist survivors in achieving justice by identifying the monetary and non-monetary benefits of pursuing a civil case and leaving no option foreclosed.
