Courthouse Advocacy Program

The Task Force on Family Violence’s cornerstone program, the Courthouse Advocacy Program is the “front door” to the civil justice system for nearly 5,000 abused individuals each year.  Located at the Milwaukee County Courthouse, advocates at our clinic help clients:

  • Complete the necessary paperwork for petitioning the court for orders of protection.
  • Create safety plans to help protect themselves and their children.
  • Access on-going services to meet their emergency needs.
