Assistant District Attorney

An Assistant District Attorney (ADA) is a lawyer who works for the government prosecutors' office, helping to represent the state or community in criminal cases. They review evidence, interview witnesses, and present cases in court to prove that the accused committed a crime. ADAs aim to ensure justice is served fairly by following legal procedures and advocating for victims, while also protecting the rights of the accused. They often specialize in specific types of cases, such as drug offenses or violent crimes, and work closely with law enforcement to uphold public safety.
