Victim Affairs

When you have become a victim of a criminal offence, it often has a significant impact. You may have to deal with the police and the public prosecution service and possibly face a criminal case, while what you really need is clarity and peace of mind. In such situations, it is important to know what to expect and where you stand.

We support victims and their relatives throughout the entire criminal process, particularly in cases involving serious violent or sexual offences. Assistance can also be provided in other types of cases upon request. From the moment of reporting the offence to the court proceedings, we provide clarity, clear explanations, and support. We take the time to answer your questions and work with you to determine what is needed in your specific situation.

As a victim, you have various rights within the criminal process. You can file a report, submit a victim statement, and request compensation for damages. You also have the right to attend the hearing and to receive information about the progress of the case. It is important to know how to exercise these rights and the choices involved.

We can assist you in this process and ensure that your interests are properly represented. Additionally, we guide you throughout the entire procedure and maintain contact with the Public Prosecution Service and other parties involved. A criminal case can be distressing and have consequences that extend beyond the immediate moment. That is why it is crucial to receive proper guidance. We ensure clear communication, remain accessible, and support you throughout the entire process. In consultation with you, we will also assess whether your case qualifies for publicly funded legal assistance.
