When people think about criminal courts, they usually focus on the accused. But in Arizona, crime victims also have powerful rights  — rights that must be respected throughout the process. At Taylor Law Group, PLLC, we stand up for victims in Tucson and Southern Arizona, making sure their voices are heard and their rights are protected.

Arizona’s Victims’ Bill of Rights

Arizona law gives victims specific protections, including

• The right to be informed of court proceedings
• The right to attend hearings and trials
• The right to be heard at sentencing and release hearings
• The right to restitution for financial losses
• The right to fairness, dignity, and respect throughout the process

These rights exist to balance the scales of justice — but they are only meaningful if someone fights to enforce them.

Why Victims Need Their Own Attorney

Prosecutors represent the State, not individual victims. That means a victim’s concerns can sometimes take a backseat to the government’s goals. Having your own attorney ensures:

• Your rights are not overlooked in plea negotiations
• Your restitution claims are documented and pursued
• Your perspective is presented clearly to the court
• Protective orders or no-contact conditions are enforced

An attorney provides both advocacy and peace of mind during an emotionally difficult time.
