Family Violence Victim Advocate
Victim advocates work with victims and their family members after a family violence arrest has occurred. Advocates provide support and guidance during court proceedings and give information on victims rights. Victim Advocates are located at Waterbury Superior Court and help express the victims concerns and viewpoint to the prosecutor, Family Relations, Judge and other Judicial Employees. Victim Advocates assist with questions regarding a case, the criminal justice system, or the services available, such as assistance with relocation, transportation, and compensation. Conversations with a Family Violence Victim Advocate are confidential. This means a Victim Advocate will not tell anyone else what you have told them unless you give permission to do so or the law requires it. Victim advocates may be reached at the court house during court regular operation hours. Phone: 203-236-8077 or 203-236-8078
