How do I know if the DA is going to file charges?

An attorney can evaluate the facts of your case and advise you on how your case might progress. He or she may also be able to contact the DA’s office to discuss your case before charges are filed. In most cases, criminal charges will be filed promptly once the DA’s office is in receipt of a report.

What happens if the DA rejects a case?

When a case is rejected, it means that the prosecutor does not feel that there is enough evidence, at the moment, to warrant filing criminal charges against you. This does not necessarily mean, however, that you are off the hook. Or a prosecutor can reject a case outright and terminate further police investigation.
