We Mediate CT Joins Domestic Violence Prevention Walk in Memory of Jennifer Farber Dulos
West Hartford family law firm We Mediate CT is participating in the Interval House Walk to End Domestic Violence to raise funds and awareness for domestic violence prevention services while honoring the memory of Jennifer Farber Dulos.
Jessica Lastarza, owner and lead attorney at We Mediate CT, along with her daughter Ainsley Lastarza, are serving as co-captains of Team We Mediate & Ainsley for the upcoming Interval House Walk to End Domestic Violence on October 4, 2025. The annual event, which serves as a cornerstone for domestic violence prevention in Connecticut, brings together hundreds of participants to raise awareness and funds for survivors of domestic violence.
The team has set an ambitious goal of raising $5,000 to support Interval House's critical services, including emergency shelter, counseling, and legal advocacy for domestic violence survivors. With over $1,000 already secured weeks before the event, the firm is encouraging West Hartford neighbors, mediation clients, and the broader Connecticut community to participate either by walking or making donations through the Interval House Event Page or contributing directly via the Team We Mediate Donation Page.
Jessica Lastarza emphasized the connection between domestic violence and family law matters, noting that domestic violence often complicates divorce and separation processes. As a seasoned family law mediator specializing in out-of-court solutions, Lastarza explained that her firm's mission aligns with Interval House's work in creating safer communities. The walk holds particular significance as it honors the memory of Jennifer Farber Dulos, whose case brought national attention to domestic violence issues.
We Mediate CT specializes in collaborative divorce mediation, child custody agreements, and family law services for West Hartford and greater Connecticut residents. The firm's emphasis on non-adversarial approaches helps clients avoid the emotional and financial strain of litigation while developing co-parenting plans that support long-term family stability. This methodology complements Interval House's broader mission to end domestic violence through education, prevention, and empowerment programs.
The participation of a family law firm in domestic violence prevention efforts highlights the interconnected nature of family legal services and community safety initiatives. By walking in memory of Jennifer Farber Dulos, Team We Mediate & Ainsley aims to raise awareness about the importance of safe homes for children and parents navigating family transitions. The event represents a meaningful intersection of professional expertise and community engagement in addressing one of Connecticut's most pressing social issues.
