THE IMPORTANCE OF LEGAL ADVOCACY:
We promote legal and victim advocacy in order to ensure fairness and due process for all parties involved especially if individuals can not afford legal representation or may not have access to formal legal representation. With a legal and victim advocate it helps build the gaps in the justice system, particularly in cases where individuals lack the resources or understanding to navigate the legal system.
