What Is A Prosecutor?
A prosecutor is the term for an attorney who figures out the charges that are being filed against a defendant (the person whom charges are filed against), and then tries the case in front of a judge or jury. Prosecutors report directly to the District Attorney, an elected official who is responsible for managing lawyers who prosecute criminal cases.

If you foresee your case going to trial, somebody with his experience is best equipped to protect your future and rights.
