Criminal Justice Advocacy
Protecting Victim Rights in the Criminal Justice System
Survivor Justice Center helps survivors understand their rights when their abuser is prosecuted in a criminal case, so they are empowered to make the best decision for themselves and their families.
In cases where the abusive person is prosecuted in a criminal case, survivors have the right to keep their medical, counseling and education records private and to certain information and documents pertaining to the criminal case.
Survivor Justice Center attorneys can represent the victim in the criminal case to make sure their rights are protected. For more information about victim rights in the criminal system, check out our Survivors Guide CLICK HERE
Survivor Justice Center lawyers give survivors a safe and private space to learn about their rights, explore their choices, and make strong, informed decisions for themselves and their families.
Our attorneys also work closely with each person to look at their full legal situation and find any problems related to domestic violence or sexual assault. Based on what the survivor wants and needs, we can offer legal help directly or connect them with one of our trusted partners who can support them best.
If you are a survivor of domestic violence or sexual assault, Survivor Justice Center attorneys can help you with your legal needs.
