Legal Question in Criminal Law in Arizona

Needing private attorney to represent me as victim in criminal trial

While working as an escort (adult entertainment), I was a victim of assault, rape, and burglary. The defendent also assaulted raped and robbed several other girls in the same profession. Thankfully, he was apprehended and remains in custody without bond. The DA is wanting me to testify if and when it goes to trial, which I am willing to do, but am concerned that I should have private representation due to the circumstances of my occupation. Is it ''allowed'' for me to have my own attorney? What type of attorney should I seek, and without alot of money (as I have basically quit that profession as a result to the attack) one that wont charge me a small fortune? Thank you for your attention to my question, I welcome any advice.

Arizona victims rights laws allow you to have your own counsel. I have represented victims before and have a strong background in sex crime defense. Review my website for more info. Please contact me directly to discuss. Leave a voice mail if I am not in and I will get in touch.
