Cristina is a paralegal volunteer who has donated more hours to NCVLI than any volunteer in NCVLI’s history.  She has spent considerable time assisting with grant reporting in addition to helping build the foundation of NCVLI’s upcoming National Alliance of Victims’ Rights Attorneys website.  Cristina describes her experiences at NCVLI as fundamental in shaping her future.  “In reviewing state laws on victims’ rights I’ve learned that some states have little more than a page of information on victims’ rights while others have seventy; it’s made me want to work in criminal law to advance victims’ rights in a state lacking legislation.”
