Our Legal Services program has served the East <br />Metro region of the Twin Cities, including Ramsey and Washington counties, since Family Violence <br />Network (one of our predecessor organizations) began in 1981. <br />Our Legal Services within your community include: criminal court legal advocacy to ensure victim's <br />rights are met through the criminal legal system; legal clinics regarding divorce, custody, child <br />support, and other family law issues; pro bono attorney representation; and assistance drafting <br />Orders for Protection and Harassment Restraining Orders, including providing civil advocacy <br />throughout the process of obtaining this important order. <br />We have been so fortunate to partner with the Mounds View Police Department and HJ Law <br />prosecution team to provide legal services to help victims of violence in Mounds View. During <br />2022 we provided the following services to Mounds View: <br />• 7 clients with drafting Orders for Protection and civil advocacy through the process <br />- The average cost per service for an Order for Protection is $590.97 <br />- The cost of providing support in these protective order cases was $4,136.79 <br />• 39 Criminal Advocacy cases <br />- The average cost per service for a criminal advocacy case is $507.00 <br />- The cost of providing support in these criminal cases was $19,973 <br />• 51 Legal intervention line calls from law enforcement <br />- The average cost per service for an intervention call from law enforcement is $25.99. <br />- The cost of providing support to law enforcement on scene was $1,325.49 <br />• The community of Mounds View's Return on Investment for Tubman's legal advocacy <br />services was $25,435.28. Residents in Mounds View also received support in many other <br />Tubman programs during calendar year 2022, including other legal services, shelter, <br />community support groups, youth programming, and walk-in resources. <br />Per your request, we also took a look at the data for Mounds View domestic criminal cases for the <br />last three years. In 2021, Tubman provided criminal legal advocacy on 45 domestic cases. In 2020, <br />there were 52 domestic cases in the city of Mounds View. Further, the 2022 numbers above do <br />not include an additional 12 charged criminal cases in which Tubman was not able to provide <br />advocacy due to our current reduction in services. Unfortunately, that resulted in a 23% decline <br />in services provided. <br />
