Great turnout from my Wells Fargo colleagues at today's Charlotte Triage courthouse clinic with Legal Aid of North Carolina . I was joined by veteran tenant advocate Mark Taylor and FOUR first timers - Shatoria D. Coleman, Bryan Huxhold, Meghan Bane, & LaQuita Boyd. Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP was this month's sponsoring law firm, led by housing champion Chris Dickson. We represented several tenants facing eviction and advised many more. We're back at the courthouse next Tuesday - come join us! #charlottetriage #probono #inhousecounsel

Nearly 3 in 10 women and 1 in 10 men in the US have experienced intimate partner violence, according to the National Domestic Violence Hotline. Access to legal aid is vital. It can help survivors obtain protective orders, secure child custody orders and more. But LSC's Justice Gap Report found that DV survivors did not receive any or enough legal help for 88% of their civil legal problems.
