In Costa Rica, family lawyers play a vital role in domestic violence proceedings. We not only provide advice and representation to victims, but we also work to ensure that immediate steps are taken to protect their safety. As family lawyers, we help victims obtain restraining orders, file complaints, and navigate the complex judicial system. In addition, we play a role in raising awareness about the rights of victims and defending their interests, thereby promoting a more just and equitable legal environment. Our intervention can be decisive in breaking the cycle of violence and ensuring the protection and well-being of those affected. Domestic violence has no sex or gender, and we defend anyone who needs protection.
