*Under the statute, “the term ‘crime victim’ means a person directly and proximately harmed as a result of the commission of a Federal offense or an offense in the District of Columbia. In the case of a crime victim who is under 18 years of age, incompetent, incapacitated, or deceased, the legal guardians of the crime victim or the representatives of the crime victim’s estate, family members, or any other persons appointed as suitable by the court, may assume the crime victim’s rights under this chapter, but in no event shall the defendant be named as such guardian or representative.

If it is determined that you are a victim, we will make our best efforts to ensure that you are provided the rights described above. While we cannot act as your attorney or provide you with legal advice, you may seek the advice of an attorney with respect to these rights or other related legal matters.
