COMPLAINANTS

Although I mostly represent people accused of crimes, I also represent victims who are involved in the criminal justice system after making a complaint to the police. In a criminal case, the prosecutor is not the victim's lawyer, they are the government's lawyer. It can therefore be very difficult sometimes for victims to get what they need from the criminal justice system.

A criminal defense lawyer can help you if you are trying to convince the prosecutor to drop the charges you initially asked for, change the accused's conditions so he or she can see and speak to you, or urge the prosecutor to accept any other desired outcome.
