Services

The Pro Bono Project has been providing family law services since its inception. We provide services to Santa Clara County community members who have cases in Santa Clara County in domestic violence and family law matters. Services can include advice, referral to other resources, preparation of documents, help with filing, coaching on self-representation, negotiation and settlement, and limited scope representation.

The Pro Bono Project can provide services through the following means:

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, in a domestic partnership, former partner, spouse, and/or ex-partner. 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.
