NO RECOVERY NO FEES

Since the 1980’s, legislature has increased victims’ rights in the criminal justice process and given them protection throughout their claim. Before then, victims were occasionally present to testify at trial but often had little to no involvement in criminal prosecution. Now, all 50 states have a version of a crime victims’ Bill of Rights—provisions which effectively advocate for victims.


Florida Law’s Crime Victims’ Rights

In the state of Florida, the Victims’ Bill of Rights states that victims of crime or their representatives are entitled to the right to be informed, to be present, and to be heard when relevant at all crucial stages of criminal proceedings, as long as these rights do not interfere with the constitutional rights of the accused.
