Empowering Victims Through Knowledge and Legal Advocacy
If you or a loved one has been the victim of a crime, navigating the justice system can feel overwhelming. The Victim’s Rights Handbook by Lindsay Lawrence Chase of Lindsay Chase Law Firm is designed to guide you through every step—from arrest to post-conviction—ensuring that your voice is heard and your rights are protected.
Whether you’re dealing with domestic violence, theft, or another criminal matter, this free resource is here to help you understand your rights, stay informed throughout the process, and take meaningful action to safeguard yourself and your future.
Know Your Rights in Florida
Florida law grants crime victims a range of powerful protections under Marsy’s Law—but most people don’t know how to use them.
With this handbook, you’ll learn:
Your right to be treated with dignity and respect
How to be notified of arrest, court dates, and plea deals
What to do if you need a no-contact order or restitution
How to refuse contact from the defense
What to expect at bond hearings, trial, and sentencing
This knowledge can help you participate confidently in the legal process and advocate for your safety.
Stay Informed—Even After the Case Ends
Even once a case is resolved, you still have rights—and responsibilities. This guide explains:
How probation and community control affect your safety
Your right to speak at probation or violation hearings
What happens if a defendant violates court orders
How to seek compensation and enforce restitution
How to stay involved during appeals or post-conviction motions
No one should feel powerless after a crime. This handbook gives you clarity, tools, and legal pathways to regain control.
