Welcome to the Online Office of the Kenton County Commonwealth’s Attorney
As the Commonwealth’s Attorney for the 16th Judicial Circuit, my office prosecutes all felonies in Kenton County, the state’s third most populated county with more than 165,000 residents.
My office includes a talented team of assistant prosecutors, detectives, paralegals, and a victim’s advocate who investigate and prosecute a wide range of felonies – from drug trafficking prosecutions to sex crimes to death penalty cases. You can learn more about our team by visiting this page, where you can read their bios and the important roles they play in this office.
It is important for Kenton County residents to be aware of the activities of this office. That’s one reason my office distributes a weekly electronic newsletter that reports on the activities of this office and the convictions we achieve each week in Kenton Circuit Court. If you are not already receiving this newsletter, you can sign up for it here on our website.
Keeping Kenton County citizens informed is also the reason we created this website. Please enjoy it and let us know if there is additional information you would like to see on this website.
