i was a student attorney at the domestic
00:06
violence clinic so i have experience
00:09
working with survivors of domestic
00:11
violence and during that experience i
00:13
was able to learn about the dynamics of
00:16
power and control
00:19
and so now as an attorney i’m more able
00:22
to understand those components that come
00:25
in and how they’ll affect the client
00:28
when they’re going through a divorce or
00:31
a criminal case or anything like that
00:33
if you’re
00:34
a client that comes in and says
00:37
i’m very i’m very afraid
00:40
then it’s
00:42
probably something that we need to get a
00:43
protective order for if you’re feeling
00:45
afraid of your spouse they’re going to
00:47
hurt you
00:48
and if there are kids involved
00:51
also a protective order or maybe a
00:54
temporary restraining order to make sure
00:56
that the health and welfare of the kids
00:59
are first priority
01:01
a lot of that is just being able to act
01:03
quickly
01:05
and help the client that way
