If you were ordered by the Hamilton County Courts or requested by your Probation Officer to attend the Victim Impact Panel, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) has opportunities for virtual and in person panels. To participate in MADD’s online panel you must use a device with an active camera. If you would like to schedule with MADD contact Pam Kelshaw at 1-800-426-6233. We are also accepting the Online MADD Victim Impact panel through https://online.maddvip.org/.
