Domestic violence occurs all over the world within every type of community. As a career prosecutor, I have dedicated the last 30 years to seeking justice for these victims and holding perpetrators accountable.

Because within relationships of physical abuse, the risk of serious injury or death can increase over time, the goal is to detect and intervene sooner rather than later.
