Our office strives to:
- Vindicate the rights of crime victims, witnesses, and persons accused of crime;

We perform a critical role as we provide prosecution services to our community. We collaborate with every component of the criminal justice system and the entire community. We strive to earn and hold the trust and confidence of our community by performing our jobs at the very highest level of professionalism with integrity, using the highest ethical standards, compassion, mutual respect and open communications both among members of the public and employees.

Welcome to the District Attorney’s Website. As a representative of the People of the State of California, the District Attorney’s Office has the responsibility to prosecute all criminal matters in the County of Mono.

The purpose of the District Attorney is to promote and protect the public peace and safety of Mono County and I am very proud of our dedicated attorneys, investigators, victim advocates, and support staff who diligently and compassionately serve our citizens day in and day out. We consistently apply equal justice under the law to protect our community and ensure that victims and witnesses of crime are treated with compassion and respect. One of my primary goals is to assure that you live in a safe community and that you have confidence that you and/or your family or children will never be a victim of crime.
