FAQs - Crime Victim Representation

     What rights do crime victims have in Arizona?
Crime victims in Arizona have rights under the Victims’ Bill of Rights (ARS § 13-4401 et seq.), including the right to notice, to be heard at certain hearings, to confer with prosecutors, to restitution, and to be treated with fairness, dignity, and respect throughout the legal process.

     Do I need to hire my own attorney if there is already a prosecutor?
Yes. The prosecutor represents the state’s interest, not yours specifically. A private victim’s attorney can advocate for your rights (e.g. to restitution, input in plea deals, enforcing protective orders) and make sure you are not sidelined.

  Can I request restitution or compensation for my losses?
Absolutely. As a victim, you can seek restitution for expenses like medical bills, therapy, property damage, lost wages, and more. A victim representation attorney can help document, request, and enforce those claims in court.

  What does “being heard” in court mean for victims?
Being heard allows a victim to make a “victim impact statement,” attend hearings, and provide input to the court on sentencing or plea negotiations. A dedicated attorney ensures your voice is heard where it matters.

  Can I get a protective order or injunction if I’m a crime victim?
Yes. In many cases, victims can obtain protective orders (e.g. Orders of Protection, Injunctions Against Harassment) to prevent further contact or threats. A victim’s lawyer can help you with the petition, hearings, and enforcement.

  How much does it cost to hire a victim representation attorney?
Costs vary by case complexity, but many victim-representation attorneys work on a consultation basis and may include representation in hearings and enforcement. In many situations, victims are not charged by prosecutors — so having your lawyer is not about criminal risk, but about ensuring your rights and claims are protected.
