Stephen A. Zappala, Jr.
District Attorney

Hello, my name is Stephen A. Zappala, Jr. and I would like to welcome you to the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office website. Since 1998, I have had the privilege of serving as the District Attorney for Allegheny County residents.

As District Attorney, I am the Chief Law Enforcement Officer for the county and am responsible for seeking justice on a daily basis for the citizens of this county. In addition, I am also charged with protecting the rights of our society and the individuals who make up that society. To that end, I am extremely proud of the staff of attorneys and support personnel who have been brought together to carry out what is oftentimes a broad and complex mission.

I am honored each and every day to represent the citizens of this county. I am confident that this office will continue to carry out its mission with the respect and enthusiasm the residents of this county deserve.

Please take a look at our web site to learn more about the function of the District Attorney’s Office, the criminal justice system and some of the outreach programs sponsored by my office.
