Deitch + Rogers, a law firm specializing in the rights of crime victims, has announced the creation of a new role, Survivor Services Coordinator, filled by Na'Sha Robertson. This position is designed to offer clients not just legal representation but also emotional and practical support throughout their legal journey. Robertson's role includes facilitating access to counseling, safe shelter, and other essential services, while also educating clients on their rights and the legal process.
Michael D'Antignac, a partner at the firm, emphasized the importance of this role in reducing the potential for re-traumatization during legal proceedings. The addition of Robertson, with her extensive background in victim advocacy, including work with a Virginia police department and a Florida crisis center, underscores the firm's commitment to treating survivors with dignity and respect. Her expertise in assisting victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and human trafficking will be invaluable in guiding clients towards recovery and rebuilding their lives.
This initiative reflects a growing recognition within the legal community of the need for holistic approaches to supporting crime victims, beyond just seeking financial compensation. By integrating survivor services directly into their legal practice, Deitch + Rogers sets a precedent for how law firms can contribute to the healing process of individuals affected by violent crimes.
