Commonwealth's Attorney

As your Commonwealth's Attorney, I understand how important and necessary you are to the criminal justice system. I have maintained a victim witness program and a community outreach component to help you deal with the impact of crime. We are here to answer your questions, to offer assistance in relieving some of the injury, pain and inconvenience a crime can cause to your life.
