When my son got in trouble with law enforcement, I turned to O’Connell West for help. Doug and Laurie did an amazing job. They steered us through the process, fought for my son and ultimately his case was dismissed. If you or someone you care about is in trouble, I highly recommend you hire O’Connell West.
Victims of Crime
A crime victim is never required to retain a private attorney. For some victims however, the legal system can be overwhelming. The physical and emotional stress of going to court, meeting with law enforcement, prosecutors and court staff can be confusing and exhausting. Due to the overloaded criminal justice system, crime victims sometimes feel marginalized and their opinions irrelevant to the outcome of the case. Other victims experience stress and anxiety stemming from concerns that the perpetrator won’t be held accountable for their actions.
Individuals, organizations and families routinely engage our team to provide representation when they have been victimized. Past clients have felt a measure of relief to have someone who can explain the process, the court actions and answer their questions in an unhurried and comprehensive manner. Likewise, our clients have gained confidence in outcome based on the O’Connell West Team involvement and advocacy.
We often conduct an independent investigation to ensure law enforcement and prosecutors have an accurate understanding of the nature and seriousness of the offense. Our team ensures all of the relevant evidence is gathered and given appropriate consideration. Most importantly, we serve as a forceful advocate to safeguard the victim’s opinions and interest in justice. When necessary, the O’Connell West Team meets with prosecutors to push for an appropriate resolution to the criminal case consistent with his victim-client’s views and desires.
