Summary

Existing law provides for the indemnification of victims of specified types of crimes by the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board. Existing law requires the board to pay attorney's fees representing the reasonable value of legal services rendered to the applicant, in an amount equal to 10% of the amount of the award, or $500, whichever is less, for each victim and each derivative victim, as specified. Existing law provides that an attorney receiving fees from another source may waive the right to receive these fees. This bill, for each victim and derivative victim, would pay attorney's fees of 10% of the award or $100, whichever is less, for applications that are approved, 10% of the award or $200, whichever is less, for applications that are denied but later approved during the appeal process but before an oral hearing, and $75 per hour up to $500, for applications that are denied, appealed, and the attorney represents the claimant at the oral hearing.
