For Lawyers
DV.Support lists domestic violence lawyers from public professional directories. If your profile is already here, claiming it takes less than 5 minutes and unlocks tools to grow your practice.
The claim form asks for three pieces of information. Understanding how each one is used helps you prepare and speeds up approval.
If your profile lists a phone number, you can verify your identity instantly using a one-time passcode (OTP). We send a 6-digit code via SMS to the number on file — enter it on the claim form to confirm you own that number.
Tip: Phone OTP is the fastest verification path — it takes under 60 seconds if your number is current and you have your phone with you.
If your profile lists an email address, you can verify via a one-time passcode (OTP) sent to that address. We send a 6-digit code to the email on file — enter it on the claim form to confirm you control that inbox.
Tip: Email OTP is available when your profile has a listed email. It is a quick and seamless option if you still have access to that inbox.
If your profile does not list a phone number or email address, or if those details are outdated, you can verify your identity by submitting additional information for manual review by our team.
Tip: Including your bar number almost always results in same-day approval. It is the single most useful piece of information you can submit through this form.
Once your claim is approved, you gain full ownership of your profile and access to tools designed to help you connect with survivors.
A claim-verified badge is displayed on your profile, building trust with survivors searching for help.
