Effective legal representation is central to our model. If an individual does not have legal counsel, we may help identify an attorney with experience in medically based child-abuse cases. Once counsel is involved, we work in coordination with the legal team to support a thorough evaluation of the medical evidence by facilitating access to qualified medical experts, professional consultation, second opinions, educational resources, and other resources.
 

To preserve a coordinated approach, individuals requesting assistance must disclose whether another advocacy organization or case-support entity is actively involved in the matter. As a general policy, FJRC does not provide case services in matters that are already being actively supported by another advocacy organization.
 

OUR SCREENING PROCESS
 

Every request undergoes a comprehensive screening process. Case acceptance is selective and not guaranteed. We evaluate each matter based on the medical and legal issues presented, whether it falls within our mission, and whether our resources and expertise are likely to meaningfully contribute to a thorough evaluation of the available evidence.
 

FJRC reserves sole discretion to determine eligibility for services. There is no charge for our services. If your case does not meet our criteria for intake or you need immediate information, we have several resources available that may be useful for navigating your allegation.
