Your legal team will walk with you through the court process, and help you with other supportive services. We also provide counseling and a variety of emergency assistance. Whether you need counseling or legal services, you'll find help to overcome the violence in your life with the help of Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse.

At Tahirih we have a staff person solely dedicated to the pro bono network and case placement. In addition, we provide the necessary training in immigration law and partner you with a Tahirih staff attorney to co-counsel the case and to support your representation. There are generally five types of cases that we place with pro bono attorneys: asylum, VAWA, SIJS, U visas, and T visas. Each case type provides different opportunities and requires different time commitments.

The mission of Houston Volunteer Lawyers is to provide free legal services to low-income people in Harris County and to promote volunteerism among lawyers.
