Careful and respectful assistance for people involved in domestic and gender-based violence situations, in both civil and criminal matters.
It can help to speak with a lawyer about domestic violence in Turin when you are facing threats, assault, or stalking by a partner, an ex, or a family member, when you fear for your safety or your children's, or when you want to understand how a protection order or a police warning (ammonimento del Questore) works.

Women who are victims of violence can access the Regional Trust Fund for Female Victims of Violence for civil and criminal cases; Anna is qualified in this area. The requirements are checked on the individual case.
