Los Angeles County District Attorney

The Los Angeles County District Attorney prosecutes felony crimes in the County of Los Angeles, and misdemeanor crimes in selected cities that do not have an elected city attorney. In those cities, the city attorney is usually a private lawyer and handles only governmental matters (analogous to the position of County Counsel for the County of Los Angeles). In cities with elected city attorneys (e.g. Los Angeles and Long Beach), those attorneys prosecute misdemeanors.
