About Us
The Program endeavors to treat all victims with respect and dignity while addressing the physical, emotional and financial effects of crime. The program strives to return all victims to their pre-crime status while advocating to uphold Victim’s Rights. We are here to accompany and assist you as you and your criminal case proceed through the Criminal Justice System. An advocate can accompany you (and any supportive person you wish) to any and all court proceedings, as well as, interviews with law enforcement, and meetings with prosecuting district attorney’s. Your advocate can advocate on behalf of you and your rights through every step of the criminal justice system as well as with employers, creditors, schools etc. You will be provided with a safe and secure waiting room whenever you are needed for court appearances.
