VICTIM ASSISTANCE UNIT
We
represent YOU as a victim of crime.
The
primary function of the District Attorney's Office is to prosecute those who
violate the criminal laws of the State of Alabama.
Equally important is the protection of the public and providing
assistance to victims of crime.
We
view the rights of victims as one of our highest priorities.
- The Victim
Assistance Program of the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office was
established in an effort to provide much needed services to those traumatized
by violent crime.
- As a
victim of crime, you may be entitled to certain rights by law. You may also be eligible for assistance
with medical or other bills related to the offense.
- Counseling
may be available to you through the State if you are experiencing problems
due to the trauma of the offense.
Contact
the Office of Victim Assistance with any questions you have regarding your case
by calling 205-325-5260 or emailing
them at vso@jccal.org.
