Lake County Prosecutor

Your Lake County Prosecutor’s Office is a full service law firm representing all of the County’s boards and offices, certain other political subdivisions and the State of Ohio. Unlike other law firms, the Prosecuting Attorney is vested with personal discretion entrusted to him as a minister of justice, and not merely as an advocate. The Prosecuting Attorney acts as the chief law enforcement official for the County.

The responsibilities of the Prosecutor’s Office are multi-faceted. Significant in accomplishing our many roles is the dedicated team of professionals serving you in the Prosecutor’s Office. Every member of this team performs a valuable function in the legal process and continually strives for excellence. I am proud of each member of this team. The citizens of Lake County deserve the very best!

Through this informational website, I hope that the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office will be of greater service to you.
