Victim Representation in Florida

At Fighter Law, we stand with victims and survivors of crime. If you’ve been harmed, you have rights, and we are here to help you assert them. Marsy’s Law, enacted on January 8, 2019, guarantees crime victims the right to be heard, treated with fairness, and respected. Our experienced attorneys are ready to guide you through the legal process, protect your rights, and fight for justice.

Your Rights Under Marsy’s Law

Marsy’s Law is Florida’s Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights. It ensures victims and their families have the following rights:

  • Fair Treatment: You have the right to be treated with dignity, fairness, and respect.
  • Protection: You have the right to be free from harassment, intimidation, and abuse.
  • Notification: You have the right to be informed about court hearings, releases, or escapes of the accused.
  • Participation: You have the right to be heard during critical stages of the criminal justice process.
  • Privacy: You can prevent the disclosure of personal information that could be used to harass you.

Under Marsy’s Law, a victim includes anyone who suffers physical, psychological, or financial harm as a result of a crime. This protection also extends to the victim’s family and legal representatives.

Featured Practice Areas

The Criminal Court Process

Navigating the court system can feel overwhelming. Here’s a quick overview:

  1. Initial Appearance: The accused appears before a judge within 24 hours of arrest. You can attend and express concerns about release conditions.
  2. Arraignment: The accused is formally charged and enters a plea.
  3. Pretrial Conference: Prosecutors and defense attorneys update the court on case progress.
  4. Plea: The accused may plead guilty or no contest.
  5. Trial: Evidence is presented, and you may need to testify. A jury or judge decides the outcome.
  6. Sentencing: If convicted, the accused receives punishment. Victims can give impact statements.

The Injunction Process

For immediate protection, you may seek an injunction:

  1. File a Petition: Provide specific examples of harm or threats.
  2. Judge Review: The judge may grant a temporary injunction or schedule a hearing.
  3. Temporary Injunction: If granted, the respondent must comply until the hearing.
  4. Hearing: Present evidence. The judge will decide whether to issue a permanent injunction.

Learn more about filing injunctions in Florida through the Florida Courts Self-Help Center.

Can Victims Recover Financial Damages?

Yes, you can pursue financial compensation. Here’s how:

  • We can file a civil suit against the perpetrators – not many attorneys in Florida know how to do this legally and ethically. We do. Our attorneys can demand compensation while ensuring it doesn’t interfere with the criminal case.
  • Apply for Florida’s Victim Compensation Program, which covers expenses like medical bills, lost wages, and mental health services.

For an example of Florida law on civil claims for crime victims, see this case law.
