A local non-profit organization dedicated to helping victims of domestic violence with the legal system .
group of local attorneys formed Are You Safe , a

A nonprofit organization whose purpose is to pair victims of domestic violence with attorneys that specialize in family law . The organization began in early 2009 and was formed by attorneys Natalie Baird , Miriam Velez , Cory Baird and Jason Valkenburg . Pioneered by Natalie Biard , a survivor of domestic violence herself , the organization was something she has wanted to do since escaping an abusive relationship herself .

Natalie went on to share some of the signs to watch out for in a possible abuser – or in a possible abusive relationship . Your partner begins to gradually put you down , and verbally degrade you
• Your partner wants to develop a quick relationship
• Your partner begins to isolate you
• Your partner monitors every move you make , you cell phone , your email , computer , etc
• Your partner is abusive or mean to pets or destroys property
Because each case is such a time consuming process , each attorney can only handle about two cases a year . Since there are thousands of domestic violence cases reported every year , the organization is always looking for other attorneys who want to get involved .
Qualifying victims of domestic violence can obtain legal services from the attorneys that work pro bono , volunteering their time through the entire process of the case . Victims must meet certain economic requirements to qualify for the program . They can get help either by visiting the group ’ s Web site at www . r-u-safe . org or by e-mailing r . u . safe . tampa @ gmail . com
