Comprehensive Support for Victims
At the Kane County State's Attorney's Office, we understand that navigating the criminal justice system can be overwhelming. That's why our Victim Services Unit is here to provide guidance and support every step of the way. From offering crucial information about legal processes to connecting individuals with vital resources, our team is committed to empowering victims. Whether it's securing a safe space in domestic violence shelters, accessing crisis intervention from sexual assault centers, or finding specialized assistance for seniors, we ensure that each person receives the care they deserve.
Connecting Victims with Essential Resources
Our dedicated victim advocates are more than just counselors—they're problem solvers. They work tirelessly to connect victims with the exact resources they need. For instance, if someone is escaping a violent home, we help them find shelter. If someone has experienced a traumatic assault, we guide them toward crisis centers equipped to handle such cases. We also collaborate with local police departments and senior services to ensure no one is left without the support they require. It’s about building a network of trust and care that extends beyond our office walls.

The Role of the State's Attorney
The State's Attorney is not just a prosecutor; they are a guardian of justice.

Beyond the courtroom, we offer legal advice to county officials and ensure that all actions align with the laws of Illinois. It's a multifaceted role that demands integrity, knowledge, and compassion.

For three decades, he proudly wore the badge before transitioning to the Kane County Child Advocacy Center (CAC) as an investigator.
