FAQ's
What can an advocate do for me?
- Explain the judicial system;
- Act as a link between prosecutors and victims;
- Advise as to the current status of the case;
- Make referrals for counseling, shelter, food, etc.;
- Answer questions regarding the pretrial, trial, sentencing and appeal process;
- Escort victims while they testify;
- Assist in obtaining Orders of Protection or Injunctions Against Harassment; and
- Referrals to other social service agencies that offer financial and supportive services.
As a victim, you have the right to keep most of your written and oral communications with an advocate confidential. This means that anything you say or send to an advocate, with the exception of a Victim Impact Statement or restitution, cannot generally be shared with anyone without your consent.
