The Superior Court of Solano County is pleased to announce a partnership with Victims Empowerment Support Team (VEST) at the Vallejo Courthouse located at 321 Tuolumne Street. Commencing May 4, 2026, VEST will have a Domestic Violence Advocate at the Vallejo courthouse to assist self-represented litigants with domestic violence restraining order applications. VEST advocates will be available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Room 125 located across the hall from the Clerk’s Office. Aside from restraining order applications, advocates will also offer safety planning and connect domestic violence survivors to other services such as counseling, support groups, housing resources and case management. As stated by Tanya Brownrigg, Executive Director and Founder of VEST, “VEST is committed to eliminating barriers that prevent survivors from accessing safety and support when it matters most. This initiative strengthens a coordinated community response to domestic violence and expands equitable access to critical, life-changing resources for survivors. Help is here.” As stated by Judge Daniel J. Healy, Supervising Judge of the Vallejo Courthouse, “we are working to improve access to our justice system and services for persons in need. We appreciate VEST coming here to help us serve the Vallejo/Benicia community and we look forward to working with them.” Self-Represented litigants may also visit the Solano Legal Access Center at the Hall of Justice in Fairfield for assistance with domestic violence restraining order cases and other family law issues including child custody, child support and divorce. Staff can help with paperwork and answer questions about court processes and procedures.
