Our goal is to ensure that victims do not suffer financially due to their victimization. We believe that no one should have to bear the burden of someone else's criminal actions.

We believe in empowering victims by giving them access to information about their rights under California law so they can make informed decisions about their recovery journey after experiencing trauma caused by criminal acts against them or their loved ones.
