ROCKY MOUNTAIN VICTIM LAW CENTER

What ROCKY MOUNTAIN VICTIM LAW CENTER does

Rocky Mountain Victim Law Center (RMvlc) is a Colorado-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit law firm that provides free legal information, representation, and training to victims of crime and the service providers who assist them. Founded in 2010 after spinning out from the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance's Colorado Crime Victims Legal Clinic (established 2008), the organization operates from its headquarters at 899 Logan Street, Suite 512, in Denver, and serves clients across all 22 of Colorado's judicial districts. RMvlc employs 11-50 staff organized around an Executive Director, Legal Director, program attorneys, victim services specialists, and intake roles, with a Board of Directors providing governance oversight.

RMvlc delivers services through three integrated core programs: Victim Rights Legal Services (VRLS), which provides advocacy and litigation under the Colorado Victim Rights Act in criminal cases; the Legal Information Network of Colorado (LINC), a wraparound program addressing collateral civil legal consequences of crime via a helpline, online resource portal (coloradolinc.org), and a Navigator partner network; and Title IX Legal Services, which represents student survivors of gender-based violence in K-12 and higher education disciplinary proceedings. Supporting these programs, RMvlc offers Training & Technical Assistance on trauma-informed legal services, the Colorado Victim Rights Act, Title IX, and advanced advocacy, and operates the Rocky Mountain Victim Lawyers Association member network for attorney continuing legal education.

The business model is grant- and donation-funded rather than fee-based: all services are provided at no cost to victims, and operating revenue derives from Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) Wraparound Victim Legal Assistance Network (WVLAN) demonstration project funding through the Department of Justice, individual and organizational donations via Colorado Gives and other channels, and community support. Distribution is executed through direct phone and online intake (English, Spanish, French), Navigator partner referrals across the state, and in-person legal representation. In 2025, RMvlc served 2,963 victims of crime across its programs.
