When faced with difficult circumstances, it can be hard to know where to turn for help. At YourLawyer, we believe that everyone deserves the best possible support when they need it most. That’s why we are proud to have been able to assist a recent client who found themselves in a truly challenging situation.
The client in question had been punched in the face by an offender who was later found guilty of assault and placed on a diversion program. It was a traumatic experience that left the client feeling vulnerable and scared. What’s more, the client was homeless, sleeping in a tent with nowhere else to go.
Fortunately, YourLawyer was able to help. We assisted the client with their victims of crime application, ensuring that they had the best possible chance of receiving the support they deserved. We recognized that it was important for the client to have a safe place to sleep, and so we worked with them to come up with a solution that would provide just that.
Together, we agreed that it would be safer for the client to sleep in a caravan. However, with no funds available, we knew that we would need to take action. We successfully applied on the client’s behalf to the Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal for funds to purchase a second-hand caravan.
Despite the challenges, the Tribunal agreed to fund the caravan, recognizing the importance of providing the client with a safe and secure place to live. However, we also knew that time was of the essence. The client needed the caravan urgently, and so we petitioned the Tribunal to expedite the release of funds. The Tribunal generously agreed, allowing the client to purchase the caravan quickly and begin to feel safe and secure in their new home.
For us, the client’s gratitude was the best possible reward. We are proud to have been able to help this individual when they needed it most, and we hope that we can continue to provide such important support to those who need it in the future.
At YourLawyer, we believe in the power of community and support. We understand that life can be tough, and that sometimes you need a helping hand to get through the tough times. Whether you are a victim of crime or have suffered an injury, we are here to help. Contact us today to learn more about our services, and how we can support you on your journey.
