I went to law school to become a public defender. I never dreamed I would be a prosecutor, much less a U.S. Attorney. But it is such an honor to have this job and to work w. these amazing USAs. We care deeply about our communities the integrity of our criminal justice system.

Falls Church PD has been receiving calls from concern citizens that they have a “bench warrant arrest for missing jury duty.” This is a scam. Falls Church will never demand money or advised of any person(s) wanted status. Please hang up and contact 703-241-5053 for any questions.
