    expanded personal and professional data. It is the attorney's responsibility to routinely review and update th ose expanded listings. The information contained in those expanded listings is

    presented by the Bar "as is" with no warranty of any kind, express or implied. The Florida Bar, its Board of Gover nors, employees, and agents thereof are not responsible for the accuracy of 

    that additional data. Publication of attorneys' contact information within this listing should not be constr ued as their consent to receive unsolicited communications in any form. Certain

    unauthorized uses of this data may result in civil or criminal penalties. The Find a Lawyer directory is not a lawyer referral service.

    Office of Statewide Prosecution

    The Attorney General's Office of Statewide Prosecution is directed by the Florida

    Constitution to prosecute crimes that impact two or more judicial circuits in the State

    of Florida. Working regularly with state and federal counterparts, the office focuses on

    complex, often large scale, organized criminal activity. The Office of Statewide

    Prosecution is authorized to act throughout the Florida and works closely with law

    enforcement and State Attorneys to coordinate the prosecutions of multi-circuit

    violations of State law.

    The Statewide Prosecutor is appointed by the Attorney General from a list of 

    nominees selected by the Florida Supreme Court Judicial Nominating Commission. The Statewide Prosecutor 

    serves a term of four years and acts as the agency head for eight offices throughout the state.

    Florida’s Constitution recognizes the importance of victims in the judicial proceedings, and the Office of 

    Statewide Prosecution ensures that crime victims’ rights are protected during these proceedings. Below are

    links to help crime victims and others involved in prosecutions by the Office of Statewide Prosecution. The

    statuses of the court’s proceedings are available below as well.

     News Releases

    Each year the Statewide Prosecutor submits a report to the Governor, the Attorney General, and Florida’sLegislature. Those reports highlight successes and outline goals for the years ahead.

    List of Annual Reports

    Crime victims are the heart of each case prosecuted by the Office. Florida’s Constitution recognizes the

    importance of victims in the judicial proceedings. Below are links to help crime victims and, if you are

    involved in a case being prosecuted by the Office, you can check on the status of the court’s proceedings.
