Victim Witness Services

The Venango County District Attorney’s Office Victim/Witness Program helps victims and witnesses of crime. We will work with you to meet your needs and answer your questions.

We believe that all victims should be treated with dignity and respect.

  1. Where is the courthouse located? Where should I park?
  2. Where do I meet my victim advocate?
  3. Should I bring anything with me?
  4. How long can I expect to be there?
  5. Will anyone stay with me?
  6. Who is permitted in the courtroom?
  7. Where can I obtain an excuse for missing work or school?
  8. What if a defense attorney contacts me?
  9. What does it mean that the defendant waived his or her preliminary hearing?
  10. What if I do not feel safe entering/exiting the Courthouse?
  11. What if I do not want to press charges?
  12. What about bail?
