We offer crime victims in St. Louis pro bono legal representation services by assisting in the procurement of Adult and Child Order of Protection hearings for those surviving intimate partner violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Service area includes these Missouri counties:  St. Louis City and County, Jefferson, Franklin, Warren, and Washington.  Also provides legal information on issues related to survivors of these crimes regardless of geographic location, as well as advocacy and safety planning.

Eligibility guidelines address the needs of the poor and the “working poor,” and clients receive ongoing advocacy and support while the protective order is in effect or until an end to services is requested. Specialized services are provided for immigrants and refugees.

Volunteer attorneys are an important component and significantly increase the number of clients that can be served. Crime Victim Center's Managing Attorney works closely with Thompson Coburn, other law firms, Washington University School of Law Civil Justice Clinic, St. Louis University Legal Clinics and other local partners who provide pro bono legal representation for St. Louis crime victims.
