Victim Assistance
VICTIM ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Imagine the emotional trauma of a person who has
been beaten, or who has lost a loved one at the hands of a murderer, or
who has returned home to find the property he had worked so hard for
gone. To someone trying to work through shock, disbelief, and anger,
dealing with the unknown process of the court system may be an
additional unwelcome burden.
To lend a hand during this distressing time, the
District Attorney's office has implemented the Victim Assistance
Program.
One important part of this program is providing
answers to questions regarding victim's rights and compensation, the
status of a case, court procedure, and others. As well as helping a
victim regain a sense of control, they also point out practical steps
they may take, depending on their situation. In addition, abused spouses
and children are directed to needed help.
For more information about this program, please
contact the Victim Assistance Coordinator, Sharon Moore, in the District
Attorney's office in Clarkesville at 706-754-4496.
