Victim Witness

IMPORTANT!

Dates and times on witness subpoenas are subject to change. If you have been subpoenaed to testify, please check with the contact person listed on your subpoena before traveling.

The information on this website has been prepared to provide access to information available to assist victims and witnesses of federal crimes. It is designed to help victims and witnesses deal with problems encountered as a result of the crime, to better understand how the federal criminal justice system works, to describe victims’ rights, to explain the role of the Victim Witness Assistance Program, and to locate resource information on community and national resources.

We hope that this information will provide the answers to many of your questions and give you sufficient general information to understand your rights and responsibilities.
