We can also attend spontaneously, if you come to our offices in Pichilemu, in Campo Lindo No. 698, and in the Plazas de Justicia that we will create.”

Access to justice project
This is a substitute indication for the Bill that Creates the National Service for Access to Justice and Defense of Victims. The new Service will have 16 Regional Directorates, which will have powers to manage some of their own powers at the territorial level, without prejudice to the delegation of powers that further strengthens their role.
Among the improvements that stand out from the new institutional framework is the character of a decentralized and deconcentrated organization, which will provide specialized legal assistance in various areas (care for children and adolescents; advice for older adults; advice on discrimination and migrants). ; will promote collaborative conflict resolution, including mediation; and will reinforce comprehensive care for victims of crimes, particularly violent crimes, which will become an essential pillar in terms of citizen security.
The legal initiative contemplates the generation of standards for each of its lines of action, with its corresponding evaluation system, as well as the use of new technologies for its development.
