Virtual Attorney Visits at Broward Transitional Center: Scheduling, ID, Participation Rules, and Security
Setting up a virtual legal visit at Broward Transitional Center is straightforward once you know what to expect. Here's how VAV works, how to schedule it, who can participate, and what could get your privileges suspended.
The Virtual Attorney Visitation (VAV) program at Broward Transitional Center lets attorneys and clients meet confidentially through Skype or Microsoft Teams. It's a practical option when you can't get on-site right away - but it doesn't replace in-person attorney-client meetings.
To schedule a VAV session or check available hours, call Broward Transitional Center at 954-973-4485 ext. 129796 or email BTCVTC3900@geogroup.com. The facility's page also lists VAV hours and scheduling details - worth checking before you reach out.
ID Requirements
- ✓ Bar card (from any state)
- ✓ Or other documentation that demonstrates bar membership
- ✓ Be prepared to show the identification prior to the scheduled virtual meeting
VAV is strictly for legal access. Only legal representatives, legal assistants, and interpreters are allowed to participate in these sessions. Family members and friends are not permitted to join the virtual legal visit.
Need language support? The facility allows legal representatives to contact outside interpretation services during the call. This keeps things moving without forcing you to reschedule.
VAV sessions are designed for confidential attorney-client communication through Skype or Microsoft Teams. A visitation officer will be stationed outside the confidential room during your session - not inside - to maintain safety and security.
Warning: Legal representatives and their staff are not permitted to audio- or video-record any virtual or in-person visit, or any call with detainees at the facility. Violations may lead to suspension or permanent revocation of VAV user privileges.
The facility may also make video-visitation available for other confidential interviews - such as USCIS interviews or forensic medical evaluator interviews - or for special purposes like child welfare matters, depending on availability.
