US Attorneys

U.S. Attorneys are federal prosecutors who represent the United States in criminal and civil cases within their designated districts. They are responsible for prosecuting federal crimes, such as fraud or terrorism, and handling legal matters involving the federal government. Appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, each U.S. Attorney oversees a team of assistant prosecutors, working with federal agencies and courts to uphold federal laws and ensure justice is served. Their role is crucial in maintaining the rule of law at the federal level.
