Turning Point court advocates meet with victims to explain legal options available to them through the justice system, and provide them with information and referrals to help them with their current situation.  This includes information on Protection from Abuse (PFA) orders, criminal proceedings, Victim’s Compensation, as well as basic information on custody and support. Advocates provide court accompaniment to PFA final and contempt hearings, preliminary hearings, and trials.  Our advocates strive to establish positive professional relationships with legal services, the court systems, and law enforcement agencies in Lehigh County and Northampton County; and interact with those systems to improve the quality of service provided to victims of Domestic Violence.
