Jasmine's Story (1-minute) from State Bar of Georgia on Vimeo.
Jasmine’s* college boyfriend turned from charming and sweet to abusive when she became pregnant. He beat her and threatened to kill her. The violence escalated when her child was a toddler to the point she felt both her and her child’s life were in danger. She sought help from a law firm specializing in domestic violence cases.
Jamie Perez, attorney with Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation, helped Jasmine fight back and gain custody of her child as well as their safety.
Jasmine* went back to school and is now a productive college student and mother. Her child is also thriving.
The hope and compassion that Jamie and AVLF gave her transformed Jasmine from a victim to a self-confident survivor.
*Her identity has been changed for her protection. Her story is true.
Jamie Perez is the director for the Safe and Stable Families Project with AVLF (Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation) which includes the Domestic Violence, Family Law and Guardian ad Litem programs. She currently serves as a member of the Fulton County Family Violence Task Force.
When Jasmine* walked into the often fast-paced Safe Families Office to file for a protective order, she was very stoic as I went through the various business disclaimers and protocols.
Then we got to the point where I asked her to tell me what had happened to her. As she started telling me the horrific details of her abuse in an unemotional tone, I looked up at her face and tears were streaming down.
Immediately I knew I needed to take a moment to soften my approach. This was someone who had suffered so much, but appeared to be so used to it, she carried on with her story like it was any other conversation, even while her tears told the real truth.
I learned she was in college and working full-time to support herself and her child. On top of her busy schedule, she was dealing with this trauma.
She obtained a 12-month protective order after having to testify about the domestic violence she endured in a crowded public courtroom.
What I love and respect most about Jasmine* is her concern for her child throughout this process. Every decision she made was with her child in mind – fighting to keep herself safe so that she could be a better mother, setting an example of bravery and self-respect for her child.
Working with and learning from Jasmine and clients like her is why I love being a lawyer.
*Her identity has been changed for her protection. Her story is true.
