Legal services
If you have been harmed or threatened with physical violence or stalked, Women In Distress (WID) can help. WID recognizes that taking legal action against an abuser is an important step in keeping survivors safe. Obtaining an attorney, however, can have a huge financial burden. The Injunction for Protection Project (IFP) eliminates barriers to secure legal protection against an abuser.
IFP Attorneys at WID are Florida Bar-licensed & provide FREE legal representation & legal counsel in restraining order cases.
