MISSION STATEMENT:
The Joan of Arc Lawyers Foundation was founded in 2015 in response to the mounting crisis in the California family courts. Far too often family courts, in the context of divorce litigation, fail to properly investigate allegations of child abuse and domestic violence. As a result, the child's reports of abuse are often ignored and the child is placed in the custody of their abusing parent. The consequences are devastating to the child, and have resulted in the death of the child at the hands of their abuser.
The Joan of Arc Lawyers Foundation is a non-profit, public benefit charitable corporation whose mission is to provide legal services to financially disadvantaged Protective Parents who find themselves involved in custody litigation involving credible allegations of child abuse and domestic violence. The legal services provided by Joan of Arc Lawyers Foundation include: Direct Legal representation of Protective Parents at a low cost hourly fee, funding for reporter's transcripts of court proceedings, and other litigation related costs that may be necessary to ultimately protect children from further harm.
Joan of Arc Lawyers Foundation relies on private donations for funding, and as a 501(c)(3) corporation, all donations to the organization are tax deductible.
If you are a Protective Parent of an abused child who has made a clear and credible disclosure of abuse, and you are in need of legal representation in California courts, please contact us by email at joalawyers@att.net, or by telephone at (510) 832-7117.
