What is the difference between the Chula Vista City Attorney's Office and the San Diego District Attorney's Office? |

|

The Chula Vista City Attorney's Office represents the City and its elected officials in all civil matters. In addition, the Office criminally prosecutes a limited number of Chula Vista Municipal Code violations. The San Diego District Attorney's Office, on the other hand, handles the rest of the criminal cases occuring within the City, including non-Municipal Code misdemeanors and all felonies. |
