Criminal law

Legal support for victims

Experiencing a crime can leave you unsure what to do or expect from proceedings. We help you organise information, understand your rights and assess the legal steps available.

How we can help

Initial guidance

We listen to what happened and review existing documents. We explain reporting options and participation in proceedings, distinguishing legal advice from other support needs.

Protection and participation

We assess measures that may be requested and how to exercise your rights in proceedings. We review summonses and decisions to prepare the agreed participation and identify decisions requiring your consent.

Documenting the harm

We organise documents concerning personal, financial and other relevant harm. If an additional professional assessment is needed, we define its purpose to support a specific claim and avoid duplication.

Decisions and redress

We explain decisions received and any relevant options for claims or enforcement. Requesting compensation, obtaining an award and recovering payment are different stages that depend on the circumstances of the case.

Frequently asked questions

Must I know who was responsible before seeking advice?

No. We review the information available and what details may be relevant to reporting the matter or understanding the investigation’s status.

Does legal assistance replace other support?

No. Legal, healthcare and social needs are different. The consultation defines our involvement and identifies relevant support resources; in an emergency, call 112.
