Domestic Violence

Pro Bono Project, through its Domestic Violence Program, provides free legal advice and/or limited scope representation in domestic violence restraining order hearings to victims/survivors. The hearings will make a determination on domestic violence and grant restraining orders if appropriate. The court can adjudicate temporary custody, visitation and support. Services are for low-income individuals with cases in Santa Clara County.
