Usually not. Any single matter may involve several different lawyers from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP). Lawyers perform different roles (solicitor and prosecutor) as a matter progresses though the legal system. Victims of crime can be kept informed of any changes to the lawyer allocated to their matter. The ODPP makes every effort to ensure that a victim has the same Witness Assistance Officer as their contact person throughout the whole process.
