County Attorney
The McCracken County Attorney’s Office is a team of more than 20 attorneys, child support staff, and administrative assistants, all striving to collectively serve our community. Under Kentucky law, the responsibilities of the office include serving as the legal adviser to the McCracken County Fiscal Court as well as all county officials, officers, boards, and special districts. We also collect court-ordered child support payments and prosecute all misdemeanor crimes in the county, including DUIs, assaults, bad checks, thefts, juvenile offenses, and other statutory offenses.
