Legal Assistant

The District Attorney’s legal assistant’s first priority is to ensure that the attorney has everything needed to complete their jobs and duties. Assistants will input all new cases into Action and file charges into court for assigned county(s) and case types. Thus, each assistant will cover their assigned county to coordinate and collaborate with law enforcement as well as defense council attorneys to receive and upload case files in their entirety. This includes all reports, CV’s, Certified records, medical records, etc. that must be included within a case file for proper prosecution. Assistants will notate all actions within workflows or under notes to allow for transparency and case updates. Maintaining emails, workflows, eFiling alerts, and workspace cleanliness is an everyday task. We are team players which means we help one another out at all times, however it is also paramount that each person covers their workload without over stepping on others counties, or tasks. Legal assistants are NOT attorneys and should not be filing documents into court unless approved by an attorney; this includes charges, motions, endorsements, diversion agreements, plea deal, etc. A further breakdown of job duties can be requested.
