Welcome

Thank you for visiting the website for the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office.  I began my career in the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office in 1982 and it is my distinct honor to now serve as the State’s Attorney.  During these years, this office and our County have seen dramatic changes.  Responding to the challenges posed by these changes, this Office became the first prosecutor’s office in the United States to implement Community Prosecution.  Assigning our prosecutors according to police districts and neighborhood enables them to work more effectively with civic associations, business groups, schools, and faith-based organizations to directly fight crime at its source.  As a component of Community Prosecution, prosecutors have been assigned to work in the police districts and to interact positively with our police officers and our concerned citizens on a daily basis.  Moreover, we assign a prosecutor as a liaison to every school in our county.  Finally, we have made significant strides to enhance the diversity of our Office, establish two Domestic Violence dockets, an Elder Abuse Task force, a Citizens’ Complaint Bureau, a no-plea policy on handguns used to commit violent crimes, and established the state’s first full-time gang prosecutor. 

Our Office prosecutes over 30,000 criminal and incarcerable traffic cases every year.  The 70 dedicated and professional prosecutors who work in this Office are here to serve the public, and seek justice in an aggressive and fair manner on behalf of the victims of crime.  We see ourselves as problem-solvers, not merely as case-processors.  Again, thank you for visiting our website.  If you have any concerns not addressed here, or need to contact us, please feel free to call at (240)777-7300.
