We have a preliminary consultation to see if you are eligible for this

If applicable, we have extensive conversations about the problems in
your family relationship. I help prepare your personal statement and
the statements of other people in support of your case. If applicable,
I contact law enforcement, social workers, psychologists, doctors, and
anyone else who may have evidence in support of your case.

extensive conversations about the the way you were harmed by the criminal
activity and how you have helped law enforcement in the prosecution
of the perpetrator. I help prepare your personal statement and the statements
of other people in support of your case. I contact law enforcement in
