The organization offers a 24-hour helpline, legal and law enforcement advocacy programs, counseling, professional training sessions, and prevention education.
Misdemeanors

The Municipal Court handles zoning, housing, and traffic cases, as well as ordinance violations and misdemeanors. In addition, Mr. White was recently recognized by the ABA's Special Judicial Division for his work with the National Safety Council in implementing an online driver safety program now being used in numerous cities and towns throughout the State of Rhode Island.
Murder
In the wake of the recent tragedy in Middletown, Connecticut, involving the murder of a baby by his father, business litigation partner Edward J. Heath co-authored with Jamey Bell, executive director of Greater Hartford Legal Aid (GHLA), the article "A Call to Action: Connecticut Lawyers Partner with Legal Aid and Area Shelters to Help Victims of Domestic Violence." Appearing in the June 2015 issue of the Connecticut Bar Association's
Restraining Order
The period after the end-of-year holidays is often spent taking stock of the past year and planning for the year ahead. As a firm, the yearâ€™s performance is typically evaluated by profitability and financial strength, the solidity of old and new client relationships, the number of terrific new attorneys to join our ranks and initiatives launched and concluded. Another key measure is the number of individuals and non-profits that have received pro bono support from our lawyers and staff. This metric does not factor in our financial performance, and in fact may negatively impact our bottom line. But when we consider how â€œsuccessfulâ€ we have been as a law firm in the past year, these efforts are a vital part of the calculus. The fact that we operate as a profitable business while also providing critical legal services without pay to those individuals and organizations that otherwise would not have access to the justice system is a tribute to all our pro bono volunteers and the firmâ€™s management supporting these efforts. We will calculate the number of pro bono hours and the value of those services when that information is available at the beginning of 2023. But as we close the book on 2022, the Pro Bono Committee thanks all the Robinson+Cole pro bono volunteers who made the time to help a veteran stave off an eviction, a child stay in the United States, a victim of domestic violence obtain a restraining order, or a prisoner assert his or her statutory rights, and generally provide legal counsel to an individual or organization that would not otherwise have an attorney. By that measure, itâ€™s been another very successful year!
Money Laundering
Ben and Trevor examine the Department of Justiceâ€™s newly formed National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Teamâ€™s first public action that targeted the Hong-Kong-based exchange, Bitzlato, Ltd., which allegedly served as a haven for money laundering and cybercrime. The action is noteworthy for numerous reasons: because Bitzlato does not accept users in the U.S. and the investigation was coordinated through numerous agencies from several foreign countries. The Bitzlato enforcement action signals a change in the U.S. governmentâ€™s approach to monitoring cryptocurrency and fighting money laundering activities, both within and outside the U.S. Ben and Trevor suggest that traditional financial institutions should also be cautious if dealing in cryptocurrency. Those institutions should consider refraining from trading on exchanges that permit anonymous or near anonymous trading as it could inadvertently entangle them in funding criminal enterprises.
