Volunteer Attorneys for Mommy's Heart, Inc. to Support Abused and Neglected Children

Save to Favorites

Volunteer Opportunity:
We are seeking volunteer attorneys, with an active license in New York, to participate in our pro-bono legal program. Work schedule and time commitment are determined by volunteer.

There are several ways attorneys can help:

1. Supervising a law school student to provide mentorship and ongoing case support
2. Assisting pro-se litigants
3. Representing parents in court as their attorney of record

On May 27, 2023, we successfully launched our Legal Summer Internship program with participating law school students from NYU, Cardozo, Brooklyn Law School, and others. We hosted a three-hour family law orientation conducted by family law expert attorney, scholar, author, and professor, Kris McDaniel-Miccio, JD, LLM, JS.D at 1 Pennsylvania Plaza, which was free to all interested in learning more about our mission and/or volunteering in our pro-bono legal program. Photos from that day have been posted to the Mommy's Heart Facebook page.

More about Mommy's Heart:
Mommy's Heart, Inc. (EIN #87-4833078) is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization, which provides free legal representation and mental health services to parents and children, who escaped domestic abuse but are now facing legal and financial retaliation by their abusers in the family court system. Mommy’s Heart aims to protect and defend the fundamental rights of fit parents to direct the care and custody of their children, so that no parent ever has to fear losing a child for reporting violence.

The crux of our organization's mission is protecting the constitutional rights of fit parents, who have been stripped of their parental rights for no good reason. Family courts across our nation are violating fundamental basic human rights. Innocent children and parents are dying as a result. With your assistance, we can reform the family court system to protect the rights and safety of these deserving families in need.

A domestic abuse survivor should not have to suffer retaliatory lawfare by her former partner's weaponization of the court system using the child as a pawn to exact revenge for reporting violence in an effort to escape an acutely dangerous situation safely. This is precisely what is happening on a large scale, and we MUST stop it.

Angelina Jolie and other celebrities have been speaking publicly about this very important issue and assault on families and children, and NBC has been covering this topic in recent months due to the enormous number of child deaths related to rogue and corrupt family court judges and lawyers.

Mommy's Heart, Inc. is the only charity of its kind offering these aforementioned services free to parents and children suffering from the abuses and weaponization of the family court system. There is a GREAT need, and this need is growing.

Our foundation regularly hosts fundraising events, as featured on our website and social media. Each of these events has been well-attended by celebrities, global business leaders and philanthropists, influencers, and press. Each event has been covered by Getty Images and Patrick McMullan amongst other outlets.
