Every day, the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office fights for the rights of crime victims and their families. We focus on a victim-centered approach to prosecution, ensuring that victims and their loved ones are at the core of what we do.

Advocates in our Victim-Witness Assistance Division work directly alongside victims and their families as the case winds its way through the criminal justice system. Our advocates ensure that victims and their families are supported in a multitude of ways during a time of significant emotional trauma.

Below are the testimonials of five people who have survived significant events with the help of the Alameda County DA’s Office: Jennifer, Larry, Prince and June, and Ashyanna.

The DA’s Office wishes to sincerely thank these five survivors who graciously share with us their stories as well as their experience of working with the Alameda County DA’s Office.
