Survivors of Domestic Violence

The Domestic Violence (DV) Program at Build Up Justice NYC offers compassionate, trauma-informed legal support and social service referrals for individuals experiencing—or who have experienced—intimate partner domestic violence.

Our dedicated team of attorneys and paralegals works closely with clients to navigate the legal and practical challenges that arise in family court. We provide legal representation, advice, and counsel, while connecting survivors with resources to help build safe, stable futures.

Please note, we do not handle cases involving termination of parental rights initiated by city agencies such as ACS or foster care agencies. Additionally, we only accept clients with prior Family Court history or cases that have progressed beyond their initial stage on a case-by-case basis.

For free evaluation, advice, and counsel, please call our office at (718) 487-2300, during regular business hours Monday – Friday 9:00am-5:00pm. We can also be reached by email at [email protected]. Please include your full name, contact information, and a brief description of your situation and an advocate will follow up with you promptly.
