LEGAL HELP
BrightHouse does not have attorneys on staff, but we are able to help navigate the legal system in a variety of other ways such as:
-
Court Advocacy and Accompaniment
-
Law Enforcement Interview Accompaniment
-
Educating on Court and Legal Terms and Definitions
-
Support while writing Victim Impact Statements
-
Filing Protection Orders
PFA/PFS Filing Assistance
PFA - PROTECTION FROM ABUSE
PFS - PROTECTION FROM STALKING/SEXUAL ASSAULT/HUMAN TRAFFICKING
BrightHouse provides free and confidential help with filing PFA and PFS documents including extensions. Contact us with any questions about these documents or come in for an intake and get assistance with filing, safety planning and education on how the court process works after filing.
To maintain confidentiality, BrightHouse is not able to assist with many legal services for victims of sexual or domestic violence. If you are in an abuse situation and need legal help, contact Kansas Legal Services. If you are are in need of further assistance, BrightHouse CrisisLine is available 24/7 at 620-663-2522.
