Contacting the prosecutor dealing with your case

Throughout the court process, you should feel free to contact the prosecutor dealing with your case.

The prosecutor is a lawyer working for the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions (Directeur des poursuites criminelles et pénales, or DPCP).

The prosecutor can answer your questions about the court process or your case in particular, and reassure you about any concerns you have about participating in the process.

Information given to victims by prosecutors (in French only) 

If you do not have contact information for the prosecutor, you can find it on the “Find a lawyer” page of the Barreau du Québec .

If you do not know the name of the prosecutor dealing with your case, you should contact the nearest DPCP point of service (in French only) .

Some of the information you need may be provided by a DPCP administrative staff member.

If you have spoken to a caseworker at a crime victims assistance centre (CAVAC) , he or she will also be able to answer your questions.

If you want to provide more information, documents or evidence to support your case, you should contact the police department to which you reported the crime.
