How We're Helping
We are fully operational , providing information and legal services across our programs . By employing technology, we are able to meet with clients , review legal documents and provide remote representation in court when necessary.

Here's a snapshot of our work...

Sophie , an 80-year-old woman was living with her alcoholic son, who was terrorizing her. He verbally abused her and accused her of stealing, while she cooked, cleaned and did his laundry. When he became out of control, she was forced to lock herself in the bathroom to survive . Other members of her family helped contact the authorities and connect her with us. After a virtual consultation with our attorneys that specialize in elder justice matters, they appeared on her behalf for a Temporary Order of Protection which was served upon the son by police and he moved out voluntarily.

Hailey called our Helpline, after being beaten by her boyfriend and obtaining a Temporary Order of Protection on her own, she feared testifying on her own, where she would have to face him. One of our lawyers had a virtual consultation with her, then appeared on her behalf via Skype and was able to obtain an extension of her Order of Protection until June 15 th , PWJC will continue to represent her.
