I want to sue the District Attorney in my county for not doing his job and doing a poor job for what he did do. Police and DA's are afforded special protection in the courts and I need to find the right lawyer. I will sue the police department also, but the DA is first.

If you are a family member of a victim, there's not a lot you can do. Besides the DA works for the state or city, so really you would need to sue the state.  Look for a civil attorney or bring a civil suit against the criminal for the damages he caused.  If you were the alleged criminal, you still cannot sue the DA, individually as he was doing his job, must sue city or state for wrongful persecution, or whatever the case may be.  If there's money in it and the attorney thinks he can win, he will more than likely work for you.  Most attorneys, though, will not take on a case they do not feel they can win or at least settle for some monetary value.

You can ask if it is possible to do a deposition instead. Sometimes if there is fear of reprecussion that can happen. Make your fears known to the DA and they will assist you.

If you have hired him as your attorney then you can't call another attorney.\n\nHowever, you can go to the Bar Association in your state and file a complaint with them. I would send an E-mail first informing the attorney that you are going to file a complaint, I would bet that would get him to contact you.\n\n\n\n\nMy current girlfriend is going through a divorce and hired an attorney. Her attorney would not respond to her. So she attempted to hire another attorney to write a letter to her current attorney just to get her to respond. The second Attorney she attempted to hire informed her that he would not represent her against another attorney. \n\nIt may be leagal but finding an attorney to go through with burning bridges on a small case are highly unlikely. The complaint with the Bar association is free and the only person you piss off the attorney who is jacking you around anyway.

You should be able to get a restraining order against him.  I'd advise getting an attorney rather than trying to do it yourself -- you want it done right the first time and you want the attorney as a buffer between you and the defendant.\n\nYou also want to have the attorney contact CPS and find out what the status of that case is.  If criminal charges have been filed, the DA should ask the criminal court for an order requiring him to stay away from you.

Start with your county's District Attorney's Office. They often investigate claims against local officials. Some have a Public Integrity Unit. Good luck!

If you think the county attorney is in on it then by all means go your State's Attorney Office.  In most cases the town charter will state how to impeach an official.  The usual way is by a petition signed by registered voters in your town.  But if the corruption seems really deep, then definately go to the county attorney or your state attorney.

If it was in my county, I'd ask, "Hey (name), how's life, put anyone in jail today."  If it were anyone else I'd ask how they were dealing with their local drug problem and proably tell them about the one we have here.  My dad's a longtime ADA, so I had more of an inside of view and don't wonder about the innerworkings of a DA's office.

Best to get a lawyer...

I can speak from personal experience on this. Make certain the attorney representing you is a "Courtroom Gladiator". One who is not afraid to draw blood. Do not just pick an attorney out of the yellow pages, do some research, talk to people about it, get input from everyone possible.\n\nHad a local judge in my area who was known for taking children from a stable home (regardless of the gender of the parent) and placing the children with the parent (convicted DUIs, spousal abuse, etc.) who was being represented by certain lawyers here. He was appointed so nothing could be done. He had a long record of DUI charges buried/hidden by calling in political favors. Just be aware you may have to "play the game". In our legal system, justice is a vaporous concept. Be sure you have the very best representation you can possibly obtain. I wish you good luck.

Call the state level of FBI...if there is no response, go higher.  Happened to me when a guy was stealing mail from mine and other mailboxes.  The locals wouldn't do anything.  I called the post office, postal inspector, and the postal inspector caught the guy on film.  Still, the locals wouldn't do anything, so I called the DA and told him that the guy had been caught on film, and the DA did some serious leaning on the Sheriff's department.  Local people are sometimes lazy, or they are good friends with other locals, so get someone leaning on them, and they start cooperating quickly.

Contact you local States Attorney/ State Prosecuter.   His or Her office is most likely at the county court house.  They will be able to tell you if you can press charges or not and may be able and willing to do it for you.  And the great thing is its free.  Well, not free.  Your taxes are paying for it so you may as well take advantage of it.  Free or not, it is a lot cheaper than contacting a private attorney just to find out you have no case.

Ask your lawyer, or whoever is handling your case.

Why not contact and attorney and have him/her find out for you?  You might have to pay a fee but at least you would know.  I do not think the police would give you that info over the phone and short of going there and asking, an attorney might be the best option.

tell his wife to go to talk to the district attorney, or give her the person's job address.\n\nok

Many police are covered under umbrella immunity provisions.\n\nThe police officer needed a malicious reason to arrest you - given that you did not break the law.  A good attorney will file an illegal arrest lawsuit (or maybe a class action lawsuit if this rogue officer has mistreated other people in the same way).

Filing a complaint in a small town is a very risky practice, in a large city you will not have a problem with the other officers but in a small town you will be known by everyone and the officers friends will be out to get you. I have done this, and then, when the harrasment started went through the Attorney generals office and had the officer reprimanded.

Many local county bar associations run lawyer referral services.  In order to belong, you must carry malpractice insurance and subscribe to their code of ethics.  They often times have volunteer attorneys who help with client relation problems and/or fee arbitration if things go wrong in an attorney/client relationship.
