As a witness or victim, do I need a lawyer to appear with me?
It is not necessary for you to have an attorney present if you are a victim or witness in a pending criminal case. The assistant prosecuting attorney handling your case will pursue the criminal charges. However, you may retain your own personal attorney if you so desire.
