How We Help Crime Victims
Victims have rights under Arizona law. Our attorneys help enforce them by:
- Guiding you through the criminal justice system
- Speaking on your behalf during court proceedings
- Pursuing restitution for losses and injuries
- Filing civil claims for compensation
- Ensuring your voice is heard and respected
- Protecting you with restraining or protective orders
We help victims understand their options and assert their legal rights from start to finish.
