Victim Rights

If you have been the victim of a crime, or suspect someone else of breaking the law, hiring an attorney can be extremely helpful to make sure you get the results you want.

Navigating the criminal justice system as a victim can be intimidating. It is often hard to make sure your desires are adequately taken into consideration by prosecuting agencies. It is also important to make sure that you communicate clearly and thoroughly through what is often an incredibly traumatic situation. We have helped numerous people through this process and can help ensure your rights are respected.

Likewise, if you suspect someone of committing a crime, especially more complex white collar or financial crimes, the process may not be as easy as picking up the phone and dialing 911. Prosecutors and law enforcement often have limited ability and desire to navigate complex business records. The best results in these cases involve putting the case together for the authorities and sometimes even presenting draft indictments. This is where our experience as former prosecutors pays dividends.

Being victimized will also likely give rise to potential civil claims. These can have the potential to provide financial compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering or other losses. However, navigating the interplay between civil and criminal claims can be incredibly complicated and difficult. This area of law is governed by specific and extraordinarily complex rules. It’s important that you have an attorney who is comfortable and experienced operating in this unique area of law.
