In Crisis
The Domestic Violence Legal Center (DVLC) strives to provide full access to the civil court system for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors. DVLC Legal Advocates file Protection From Abuse orders and provide information and options counseling, as well as accompaniments to PFA court.
DVLC staff attorneys provide consultations and representation in PFA and Sexual Violence Protection Order (SVPO) matters as well as emergency child custody, divorce, and support issues related to domestic violence. Victims of sexual assault may be represented in court actions and in Title IX proceedings on college and university campuses, thanks to a partnership with the YWCA of Lancaster’s Sexual Assault, Prevention and Counseling Center (SAPCC).
