When Hotlines Go Dark, StatuteFINDER’s AI Services Stay Online
Domestic violence hotlines across the U.S. are going dark due to funding cuts. But survivors still need help. StatuteFINDER.org offers 24/7, anonymous, AI-powered legal support—free and instant. Help is still available.
This week over 350 organizations across the U.S. received word their allocated funding would be terminated.
Among the many types of services agencies provide, their hotlines that provide direct services to victims and survivors will be shutting down. Although the Justice Department has created an appeal process with a 30- day window to apply, services will be unavailable for the foreseeable future.
At StatuteFINDER, we hope this situation resolves quickly and services for victims and survivors are restored.
Although StatuteFINDER is a newer nonprofit (1.5 yrs old), our AI services have assisted thousands of victims and survivors across the U.S., earning a reliable, pristine reputation.
StatuteFINDER is not among the organizations that have had their funding cut. Therefore, our services will remain intact. Our AI systems are instantaneous, and we shouldn’t experience any delays.
We will ensure we do everything possible to help our fellow organizations and suvivors in these times of uncertainty.
If your organization can’t assist survivors, confidently point them to StatuteFINDER.org to get their questions answered for free and instantly.
About the Author
With over 16 years of dedicated service to victims and survivors of crime, my journey has evolved from providing services to victims to training service providers throughout the country. Now, as a consulting advocate, my focus is on empowering the next wave of victim advocates and attorneys. I have developed innovative training modules that have markedly improved the capabilities of organizations and agencies in delivering victim services.
Leveraging analytical skills gained from years of service in the government and obtaining a MBA, I now impart these strategies through guest lectures and public speaking, aiming to bridge service gaps and enhance inter-agency cooperation. The work we're accomplishing is not only advancing the field but also ensuring that victims receive the comprehensive support they deserve.

Bullet Proof Orders of Protection with StatuteFINDER
Strengthen any restraining order — also called a protective order, DVPO, TRO, or injunction — by adding statute codes using the free tool at StatuteFINDER.org. Trusted by 1,000+ advocates.
💜Dear Domestic Violence Advocate
I know your job is hard and full of a million things. So I’m going to keep this super short. 💜
This blog will show you a simple way to make a protection order much stronger — so it's more likely to be approved and harder for the abuser to fight.
You might hear it called a lot of different names. It’s the same idea, no matter what it's called:
Protective order
Restraining order
Order of protection
Injunction against harassment
Emergency protective order (EPO)
Temporary restraining order (TRO)
Permanent restraining order (PRO)
Domestic violence protective order (DVPO)
Anti-harassment order
No contact order
💡 Here’s the trick: If you list the exact laws (called statute codes) that the abuser broke — and match them with the right evidence — the judge is more likely to say yes to the order.
👋 Who am I?
My name is Rafael TestAI. I’m a survivor of domestic violence, not a lawyer. I didn’t go to law school. I’m just a regular person — and this method worked for me.
This isn’t legal advice. But thousands of people like me have done it — and it works.
💪YOU CAN DO THIS.
You don't need to be a lawyer or a "legal expert" to use statute codes.
If you're a regular person with a heart for survivors, you already have what it takes. StatuteFINDER is made for you.
💡Statute codes = LIGHT BULBS in a judge's mind.
Putting a statute code + matching evidence in your Order of Protection makes it way stronger. It's like saying to the judge: "Here's the law that was broken."
That helps your survivor's story stand out and get believed.
Every order of protection submission has an “incident history.” This is where the survivor lists what happened to them. In THIS section is where you should list the statute codes that represent the abuse, plus the evidence the survivor has gathered. Use the free StatuteFINDER.org app to get your statute codes. Not legal advice.
🚓Don't let police gaslight the survivor.
If someone says, "Just forgive and forget," remind them: "Aggravated Assault [ARS § 13-1204] has a 7-year statute of limitations."
That means it's NOT too late.
📘You're not giving legal advice when you say:
"I can't give you legal advice. If any of these statute codes seem to fit your situation, you can list them for your records. But I cannot tell you which statutes apply or what to do. You might want to click on each one and read it. If the link doesn't work, you can also Google the statute."
That line keeps you safe. You're just sharing info — not advice.
🌎StatuteFINDER works in French, Spanish, and more.
Tell survivors to use it in whatever language feels easiest for them.
That's it for now. If you have any questions, just hit reply — I'm here for you.
You're doing amazing work. Keep going. You've got this.
StatuteFINDER is a free mobile app that uses AI to match survivors' abuse experiences to actual laws (statutes), empowering advocates and survivors with legal knowledge.

This Is War—and I'm Not Backing Down
Domestic violence is a spiritual battle—one that destroys generations. At Statute FINDER, we’re fighting back with AI. This blog post by founder Rafael Testai reveals the mission behind the tech: giving DV advocates superpowers to save lives. Learn how we're using AI to empower survivors, restore families, and take back ground from the enemy.
In a world obsessed with digits—bank accounts, real estate, status symbols—my metric is different.
I'm counting how many souls I can bring to Heaven with me.
When someone is trapped in despair, with no hope in sight, I want to be the hand that reaches into the darkness and pulls them out. The light that cuts through their night.
Domestic violence isn’t men vs. women or women vs. men.
It’s deeper than that. It’s a spiritual war.
And the real enemy? Lucifer.
His highest ROI comes from tearing families apart. Divorce. Abuse. Trauma. These ripple through generations like poison.
So I’m taking the fight to him.
I’m building AI tools that give domestic violence advocates superpowers. These are the unsung heroes—people who have picked up their cross and chosen to help, even when the pay is less than a living wage. I want to make one advocate as effective as ten. I want to make saving lives efficient. Scalable. Unstoppable.
And I don’t need credit. I’ll do it from the background.
In just one year at Domestic Violence Statute FINDER, we’ve already:
💬 Facilitated over 10,000 conversations in our AI tool
❤️ Saved thousands of lives
📍Been used in 35 states and counting
🌍 Reached 15 countries
📹 Collected dozens of video testimonials
🙏 Attracted generous donors
🧠 Built a powerful board of leaders
📲 Launched our app on Google Play and the App Store
When I pray, I ask for wisdom and understanding—just like Solomon. And here’s what I see: the devil is behind domestic violence. So I'm going after him.
This is personal.
Every soul counts.
I know you have a full-time job, a family, responsibilities... life is a lot.
But if you want to help me ruin the devil’s ROI, I invite you to stand with me. In any capacity. Every little bit helps.
I’m going to need an army.
Join me.

Analytics and Domestic Violence – Discovering the Hidden MVP
How NBA Data Sparked a Tool to Fight Domestic Violence
When the Denver Nuggets discovered Nikola Jokić’s MVP-level potential through hidden stats, it changed the game. That same spirit of discovery inspired our founder to launch an AI-powered dashboard that uses data to empower survivors of domestic violence. In 60 days, we’re launching a tool that could save lives—just like data saved a franchise.
This post is about domestic violence—but let’s start with basketball.
In the 2017 NBA season, the Denver Nuggets' analytics team uncovered something remarkable: a relatively unknown bench player, Nikola Jokić, had statistical similarities to Larry Bird—an all-time great. That hidden gem turned out to be a three-time MVP and led the Nuggets to their first NBA Championship in 2023.
The Nuggets staff were presented the stats above by the analytics team, not knowing which player was A & B.
The analytics team reveled that all-time great, Larry Bird, was player A.
This story resonated deeply with our founder, Rafael TestAI. A lifelong NBA fan and a survivor of domestic violence himself, Rafael saw the powerful parallel between data revealing talent on the court—and data uncovering hidden injustices in real life.
That inspiration led to the creation of our newest tool: a first-of-its-kind AI-powered Domestic Violence Analytics Dashboard. Launching in 60 days.
This dashboard will use real-time data to uncover patterns in abuse, elevate survivor stories, and equip DV advocates with insights that help save lives.
Just like the Nuggets built their team around a quietly brilliant player, we’re building tools around the quietly powerful stories data can tell—stories that lead to justice.

AI Meets Advocacy: Scars of Survival and StatuteFINDER.org Are Giving Survivors Free Access to Justice
Thanks to ScarsOfSurvival.org, domestic violence survivors now have free access to legal help through StatuteFINDER.org — a powerful AI tool that identifies relevant statutes, prepares victims for court, and connects them to resources. Available in all 50 states and multiple languages, this tech is changing the game for justice.
“I wish I had this tool back in 2005.”
These words from Alisha Griffin, board member at StatuteFINDER.org, carry the weight of personal experience — and the promise of a better path forward for today’s survivors.
Thanks to a powerful new partnership with ScarsOfSurvival.org, survivors of domestic violence now have free access to legal support through the StatuteFINDER.org app.
💡 What Is StatuteFINDER.org?
StatuteFINDER.org is a free, anonymous AI tool that helps survivors of domestic violence and the advocates who support them:
Identify which criminal statutes their abuser broke
Prepare stronger protective orders, police reports, and court documents
Get connected to local resources based on ZIP code
Use it all in English, Spanish, Arabic, and more
Stay completely anonymous
It’s a game changer — especially for organizations working on the front lines of crisis response.
📲 How It Works
Using a simple chat format, users describe what happened in their own words.
The AI then:
Translates that story into relevant statute codes
Asks clarifying questions (just like a trained advocate would)
Links directly to state-specific laws
Refers users to DV shelters, support centers, and legal aid near them
This is not legal advice, but it’s a powerful tool that bridges the knowledge gap for survivors who can’t afford an attorney or don’t know where to start.
🤝 A Partnership That Puts Survivors First
This initiative was made possible by the incredible leadership of Sathya Callender-Wilson, founder of Scars of Survival. Her team is now using StatuteFINDER.org to offer free legal support to survivors through their advocacy programs.
“I want every survivor to know they have options. And now, they have a powerful tool to go with them into the courtroom, police station, or shelter,” Sathya shared.

My friend made an app for Domestic Violence Laws
My friend made an app for Domestic Violence Laws. It helps you find the relevant laws or “statute codes” so you can know what has happened to you on a legal scale. So you know the names of the crimes that have happened to you. I would highly recommend it. StatuteFINDER.org
Hi, all. My name is Martha (@martha.mae37) and my friend, Raf (@Rafael.Testai) made an AI app called StatuteFINDER that shows you the laws that may be relevant in your domestic abuse situation.
“Alright, ya'll. We’re gonna keep this pretty short. If you’re an abuse victim, it can be harder to like, reclaim who you are in God’s eyes.” "
“My friend reminded me that he has this AI tool that he made, that helps victims of abuse advocate for themselves and kind of know the laws that were violated in the abuse they suffered, on like a legal scale. The crimes that were committed against you. His name is Raf.”
“Just in case you have been abused, or know someone that has been abused.”
“There are resources like this that you can use for free.”
