Abstract: The NCVBA is an affiliate and program of the National Center for Victims of Crime (NCVC). It was founded in April 1999, creating the nation's first professional association of attorneys and expert witnesses dedicated to helping victims seek justice through the civil system. They provide technical support to attorneys representing crime victims in civil actions, refer crime victims to lawyers in their local area, and work to increase general awareness about the availability of civil remedies for victims of crime.
