I want to sue the District Attorney in my county for not doing his job and doing a poor job for what he did do. Police and DA’s are afforded special protection in the courts and I need to find the right lawyer. I will sue the police department also, but the DA is first.

If you are a family member of a victim, there’s not a lot you can do. Besides the DA works for the state or city, so really you would need to sue the state. Look for a civil attorney or bring a civil suit against the criminal for the damages he caused. If you were the alleged criminal, you still cannot sue the DA, individually as he was doing his job, must sue city or state for wrongful persecution, or whatever the case may be. If there’s money in it and the attorney thinks he can win, he will more than likely work for you. Most attorneys, though, will not take on a case they do not feel they can win or at least settle for some monetary value.
The district attorney is immune from suit for anything that falls within the duties of the office. Any suit you filed would get thrown out of court. A suit against the state or the county would have the same result. Sovereign immunity covers the state and county and any employee of the governmental entity that is acting within the course and scope of his duties.
If there is a pattern of abuse maybe the ACLU can help you.
