While every effort has been made to provide accurate information, your case will have its own particulars, and some procedures may change. This guide is intended to assist survivors of violent crime in understanding the confusing and sometimes overwhelming events that typically occur after such a crime; however, it is not intended to provide legal advice. You should always consult with licensed professionals as well as the officials involved with your case. You can request information from higher in the chain of command (at whatever agency you are dealing with) when appropriate. While we must use formal legal terms to describe various official processes, we try to use inclusive language wherever possible.

Crime Survivors NOLA was previously supported, in part, by VOCA Subgrant Number 7349 awarded by the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement through the Office for Victims of Crime, Office of Justice Programs.
