An unprecedented multi-year joint initiative of the Columbus Coalition Against Family Violence and the Columbus Bar Foundation, Project Dignity helps family violence victims with their legal needs. These include: civil protection orders, divorce, contested child custody and related issues such as housing and landlord-tenant disputes, as well as employment and health insurance benefits. Project Dignity assures that three attorneys are available to help victims through the Legal Aid Society of Columbus.
