District Attorneys Report To You: Share Your Story

District attorneys are the most powerful actors in the criminal legal system. They play a major role in determining the way criminal cases are initiated and ultimately resolved -- from making decisions about who to charge and the severity and number of charges, to who gets access to treatment and diversion programs, to sentencing recommendations, plea negotiations, and more.

If you or a family member has had had an experience with a district attorney that you would like to share, we want to hear from you. Please fill out the form below and tell us your story. It is important that your voice be heard. Please also share this form with others.

Please do not click away from this page until you see a new page that says “THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY” or your answers will not be saved. Please review our disclaimer and notice at the bottom of this page.
