February Luncheon: Handling Pro Bono or Meager Family Law Cases
Please join us at noon on Tuesday, February 7th at Club Giraud as we welcome Brandy Howard, a Staff Attorney with the Texas Advocacy Project.

She will give attendees insight on the legal rights and resources available to victims of partner violence, sexual assault, and stalking. She will detail the law regarding these various situations and provide a roadmap for our members on how to rely on the legal system for support. She will discuss the ethical responsibilities attorneys who handle these types of cases have and the trauma usually involved as well as provide information on safety planning techniques. 1 hour CLE Approved (including .25 Ethics)
