Hello Christina,

I want to thank everyone who attended the recent Abbie Talk on Guardian ad Litem (GAL) assistance on February 8th, 2024. We had 51 attendees! That is record attendance; I am so excited that this program is growing and the topics are getting so much attention. This session featured private attorney, Maureen Lawson, who specializes in Guardian ad Litem cases. Her presentation was packed with information on the rules and regulations of a court appointed attorney. Maureen provided a PowerPoint, sample letters of orders with the court for fees, the Court Rules, and how to apply for a waiver. Please share the recording and forms with your staff for training purposes so that they may assist the survivors they serve.

Here are the resources from this session:
