Please help - Donate Today! To the NM Victims’ Rights Project
Every year the New Mexico Victims' Rights Project provides pro bono legal advocacy services to more than two hundred victims of crime from all regions of our state. Although we receive some federal funding through, these funds cover only a portion of our operating costs. We rely on the generosity of members of our community who support victims’ rights to maintain and expand our services each year.

Mission

The New Mexico Victims' Rights Project is dedicated to providing education and enforcement of crime victims' constitutional rights. The Project is available to assist all victims of violent crime.

The goal of the Victims' Rights Project is to help victims meet their legal, financial and emotional needs through: pro bono legal counsel; assistance in information and case tracking; representation at court hearings; assistance in creating victim impact statements and filing for restitution; and facilitating contact with support groups and other victim resources.

If you have been the victim of crime, find out how we can help you.
