Sonoma County Victim Assistance Center

Being a victim of crime can be a traumatic event for both the victim and for family members. In an effort to help victims from the time a crime occurs and throughout the court process, all California counties offer a victim services program. The Sonoma County Victim Assistance Center provides a variety of services to victims and their families, such as crisis and emergency assistance, employer/creditor intervention, court support/escort, case status, assistance with victim impact statements, criminal justice system orientation, and resource/referral assistance. The center can also help with property return, restitution assistance and victim compensations claims. It is essential that victims understand their rights within the criminal justice system and not be victimized again by a system intended to help them.

Eligibility requirements for different services may vary, so please inquire about what services are available for you and your family.
