The Project
Eighty-five percent of the cases referred to us are family law cases. Too often, these cases involve those, including children, who have been physically or sexually abused. Our service area includes the entire State of South Dakota. Personally, I handle cases in the Rapid City, South Dakota area. In this area, we have a large percentage of people who live below the poverty line and have been subject to domestic and/or sexual abuse.
