This is the official site for our pro bono districts in Indiana and has a feature that allows people to submit questions to an Indiana attorney and the lawyer receives credit hours toward their required pro bono hours.
Also our The Volunteer Lawyer Network is the official program in our county to connect attorneys and pro bono clients.
If you are the victim of domestic or sexual violence, or if you believe you or your children are in danger of being harmed by someone in your life, there is help for you. Throughout the state of Indiana, hundreds of trained advocates work every day to help victims find safety, and in many situations a protection order can be a useful tool.
