Deitch + Rogers, a law firm known for its focus on crime victims' rights, has introduced a new Survivor Services Coordinator position, appointing Na'Sha Robertson to the role. This initiative aims to extend beyond legal representation, offering clients emotional and practical support throughout their legal processes. Robertson will act as a liaison between clients and their attorneys, facilitating access to essential resources such as counseling and safe housing, and educating victims on their rights and the legal system.
Michael D'Antignac, a partner at the firm, highlighted the role's significance in providing compassionate support and minimizing re-traumatization during legal proceedings. Robertson's experience as a victim's advocate, including roles with a Virginia police department and a Florida crisis center, positions her to effectively assist survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and human trafficking.
This move by Deitch + Rogers underscores a commitment to dignified and respectful treatment of survivors, offering not just legal advocacy but also avenues for healing and recovery. Through collaboration with local advocacy groups, the firm seeks to clarify the legal process for survivors and ensure they receive the comprehensive support necessary for their well-being.
