A: Yes. Unless you were cited directly to court for a minor offense or a traffic matter, the District Attorneys Office will review the police reports and decide whether charges should be filed against you. After that review is complete, we can tell you if charges were filed or if the matter is still pending. Please call the DAs Office in the judicial district where the crime occurred. For example, if the crime occurred in Buena Park, contact the DAs Office at the courthouse in Fullerton (North Justice Center).
