About Our District

Welcome to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan, which encompasses 6.5 million people in the Eastern half of Michigan’s lower peninsula. Our jurisdiction consists of 34 counties, stretching from the Ohio border north to the Mackinac Bridge, and from mid-Michigan east to Canada.

The office prosecutes cases involving violations of federal laws and represents the interests of the United States government and its agencies in criminal and civil matters. Our office also enforces federal civil rights laws. The main U.S. Attorney’s Office is in Detroit, with branch offices in Flint and Bay City. The office employs approximately 120 Assistant United States Attorneys and 135 support and administrative staff.

The office’s annual budget is approximately $25 million. Through forfeiture and affirmative settlements, the office regularly brings in over $100 million annually for the United States which is turned over to taxpayers and crime victims.

Our office is organized into four divisions: Criminal, Civil, Appellate, and Administrative.
