I will always and whole heartedly support Her Justice. What they do is vital to the well being and safety of women and the children they raise. HEALTHY MOMS RAISE HEALTHY CHILDREN WHO ARE OUR FUTURE LEADERS....with that in mind, Her Justice is performing a vital work. My only wish is that HER JUSTICE had been in existence when I had my son taken away from me and awarded to my abusive husband. The consequences were horrific...leading to my son being abused, never graduating high school, making bad choices, ending up in jail ..my relationship ,and my other children's relationship ,with my first son was destroyed...the judge, in his wisdom, thought he would be better off with an abusive man with a fancy lawyer than his mother with a legal aide representative. I am still in disbelief that a court would award a one year old to an abusive husband. I was twenty one years old, clueless and naive, and I remain absolutely positive that if Her Justice had existed, my story would have been different...my son's story would have been different. The court system failed me and then my son, but thanks to Her Justice , so many women won't have to share my story. Thank you so much, for what you do.

I am a donor, and also volunteer with Her Justice on various fundraising projects. As a volunteer, I have been very impressed with the Her Justice staff and their ability to continue to evolve the organization to benefit its clients and carry out their mission. This was certainly the case during the pandemic. As a donor, I love the impact they make. Through creative pro-bono partnerships with big law firms, they multiply the dollars you donate - with every $1 donated, they generate $8 of free legal services for their clients.

It has been an honor to support the efforts of Her Justice as they deliver free legal representation for the most vulnerable women in our community. Specifically, survivors of domestic abuse are usually among those with the extremely limited resources and are most in need of an advocate. Her Justice helps shepherd them through the legal system which
would otherwise be an impossible obstacle course.

Her Justice helps rewrite the narrative so that a child doesn't have to grow up in a violent home, so that a woman has the power to regain her sense of self. Her Justice does this daily, story by story. I am proud to support the organization, its annual stair climb, and its amazing staff that work tirelessly to make new stories possible for women and children in NYC. Her Justice

I have been a donor to Her Justice for several years. They provide invaluable legal services to women and children in need. They provide excellent training to volunteer lawyer in order to leverage the skills of their broad base of talent. They have improved the lives of many New Yorkers who otherwise could not have afforded critical legal services.

Her Justice has a vital mission and performs it very well--by bringing world-class legal talent to bear for its clients. Its support network is impressive, and the attorneys who perform work on its behalf are passionate about the opportunity to help the women whose lives they are empowered to improve. I have worked with many of these attorneys and am consistently inspired by the impact that they--and Her Justice--are able to have.

I have heard first hand from clients of Her Justice what a difference the organization has made in their lives. Each time I hear a client’s story I am inspired not only by the client, but also by the individuals at Her Justice who contribute their time and talents to make a difference. Her Justice is a life changing organization and its staff and volunteers are top notch and worthy of everyone’s support.

My involvement with InMotion goes back to 2010, when I began donating to this fabulous organization financially and by volunteering as an attorney. The work that they do is vital to the well-being of needy and fragile women in New York City. They treat all clients with respect and their work is professional and effective. For the sake of all women, they should be around another 20 years at least!

As a donor, volunteer attorney and former pro bono law firm fellow with inMotion, I have had an opportunity to interact with this outstanding organization many levels. I have been consistently impressed with the way they leverage donations by utilizing the services of pro bono attorneys from dozens of law firms across the city to obtain the best results for their clients. All of the staff attorneys are top notch matrimonial law practitioners, who have been excellent mentors to me in learning the field of family law. I am proud to be associated with an organization that provides free family law services to low income women and children who are often victims of domestic violence, and in doing so, gives their clients access to justice and a chance at a better life.

I am so happy to donate to such a wonderful organization, where women in need, who are often neglected and even abused, are taught their rights and obtain legal representation so they can get back on their feet. The evidence is in the heart-warming testimony from the many women who have already been helped by inMotion.

As a former public defender and current solo practitioner, I can't emphasize enough the tremendous value that inMotion provides for women who find themselves overwhelmed by abusive relationships and the legal process that ensues. I have seen first hand that the US is not immune to the suffering and injustice that women endure daily. This is often times because they do not know their rights, which means they can be more easily manipulated, or they just don't have an advocate to help them through the process of filing a restraining order, divorce papers, or child custody docs. The services provided by inMotion are so valuable to a female who feels trapped with no resources at her disposal. I am glad that I am able to donate to such a worthy cause and I hope this becomes a nation wide effort.
