While the State of Illinois and many of our surrounding states are under a mandatory \u201cstay at home\u201d order due to COVID-19, the risk of experiencing abuse increases exponentially for victims of domestic violence<\/a>. Without the buffer of going to work or school, victims are trapped at home, 24\/7, with their abusers. Abuse can manifest in a variety of ways, including but not limited to: physical violence, sexual abuse, verbal and emotional abuse and financial control.<\/p>\n

If you or a loved one have experienced domestic violence during the COVID-19 quarantine, we urge you to call 9-1-1 and protect your family. Domestic violence is never<\/u> acceptable. Moreover, there may be options for you to gain immigration status in the United States through a U Visa if you cooperate with the police during the investigation or prosecution of a crime. The U Visa was created by Congress to encourage undocumented immigrants to report crimes to the police without fear of being deported for their immigration status. This visa can ultimately lead to a green card<\/a> in the United States for you and your family.<\/p>\n

The attorneys at Kriezelman, Burton and Associates, LLC, are here to help you if you have been the victim of a serious crime, such as domestic violence. Please call us at (312) 332-2550 to discuss how we can work with you to obtain a U Visa<\/a> and determine the next steps to gaining lawful immigration status in the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
