North Carolina is facing a deeply concerning and shocking reality that demands immediate attention: the epidemic of domestic violence that is sweeping across the state. For far too long, survivors of domestic abuse have faced not only the trauma of their circumstances but also a system that is, in many ways, ill-equipped to help them in their time of greatest need.

As an attorney, my job is to help people navigate complex legal matters and advocate for their rights. But sometimes, the most rewarding part of being a lawyer isn’t representing clients in courtrooms or negotiating deals—it’s using your skills to make a direct, positive impact in your community.

With the use of social media and devices with technological capabilities that stretch the imagination, it can be challenging to keep the intimate details of our lives private. One racy image in the wrong hands can cause trauma, embarrassment and have serious criminal implications.
