The Commonwealth's Attorney is a constitutional officer
elected to a four-year term. He appoints deputies and assistants
under his supervision to prosecute felony, misdemeanor, and traffic
cases.
This Office is responsible for prosecuting not only crimes
committed in Arlington County by also felonies committed in the City of
Falls Church and all felonies and misdemeanors committed at Ronald
Reagan Washington National Airport.
Our thirty-four member team of attorneys, victim/witness
specialists, legal assistants, and support staff members is dedicated to
making our community a safer place to live, work, and visit. In
cooperation with several different law enforcement agencies, we work
hard to protect victims and to seek just sanctions for those who choose
to violate our laws.
The Commonwealth's Attorney's Office is located on the
fifth floor of the Arlington County Courthouse. The Office is open
Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00
p.m.
