Be the resource victims need.

Each year, our nation’s state courts handle over 100 million victimization cases, illustrating the significant impact crime has on individuals. Victim advocates play a crucial role by offering legal services such as defending victims’ rights and guardianship, assessing relevant laws, providing crisis support, and counseling victims of assault, battery, robbery, domestic violence, child abuse, and other crimes.
