Detroit Resources
Free help for crime victims with court dates, explanations of the process, PPO guidance, counseling referrals, court accompaniment and victim impact statements; the DV Unit prosecutes intimate partner assault cases.
The Victim Services Unit is the part of the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office that supports victims through the criminal case. The Domestic Violence Unit is the prosecution team for assaults arising from intimate relationships.
Criminal court is confusing and frightening when you are the victim. Advocates here keep you informed of every court event, prepare you to testify and sit with you in the courtroom, all at no charge.
Services are available on request, so call and ask to be connected to an advocate on your case. PPOs are not filed here; the unit will point you to the Wayne County Clerk's PPO office downtown.
For victims and witnesses in criminal cases handled by the Wayne County Prosecutor; it does not file civil lawsuits or act as the victim's private lawyer.
