Court-Appointed Advocate

A Court-Appointed Advocate is a person assigned by a court to represent the best interests of individuals who cannot advocate for themselves, such as children in custody cases or individuals with disabilities. These advocates work to ensure that the rights and needs of these vulnerable individuals are recognized during legal proceedings. They gather information, speak on behalf of their clients, and make recommendations to the court to help ensure fair and just outcomes. Their role is to provide guidance and support to both the court and the individuals involved in the case.
