Job Description

Join the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office

The Kings County District Attorney’s Office is undertaking a major hiring initiative and actively recruiting both new and experienced attorneys to join one of the largest and most dynamic prosecution offices in the country. We have a range of open positions that reflect the breadth of our practice and are seeking candidates with varied interests, experience levels, and career goals. If you are looking for meaningful public service in a fast-paced, values-driven environment, we want to meet you.

About Our Office: A National Model for Modern Prosecution

The Kings County District Attorney’s Office serves Brooklyn’s 2.8 million residents and is New York City’s busiest prosecutor’s office. Under the leadership of District Attorney Eric Gonzalez, our office is recognized nationally for its modern, community-centered approach to prosecution, grounded in fairness, integrity, accountability, and public trust. With more than 1,200 attorneys, investigators, and professional staff, we handle a wide and complex range of cases that reflect the size and diversity of the borough we serve.

Our work covers the entire criminal justice system, from misdemeanors to homicides to appellate litigation. We also operate many specialized bureaus and units focused on priority and emerging areas of law. These include gender-based violence, hate crimes, gang-related offenses, elder exploitation, financial fraud, tenant and homeowner protection, animal crimes, environmental crimes, cybercrime, and cryptocurrency. Our attorneys have access to advanced tools and support through our in-house Digital Evidence Lab, Forensic Science Unit, and Virtual Currency Unit. In addition, our Conviction Review Unit is held up as a national model for identifying and correcting past injustices.

We are committed to both safety and reform, with an approach that combines strong enforcement with smart prevention strategies, including restorative justice programs, trauma-informed services, and tailored diversion initiatives that reduce recidivism and support healing. Our model is working. In 2024, Brooklyn recorded the lowest number of shootings ever, and that progress continues in 2025.

Opportunities for New and Experienced Attorneys: Grow Your Career with Impact

We are hiring at all levels of experience. Entry-level Assistant District Attorneys receive comprehensive training and gain courtroom experience handling meaningful cases early in their careers. Our most recent class came from more than 30 law schools in 15 states, reflecting a wide range of backgrounds and talents.

We are also seeking lateral attorneys from across the legal profession. Whether your background is in prosecution, defense, public interest, or private practice, we invite you to explore a role within our office. Opportunities are available throughout the organization.

Benefits and Work Culture

We offer competitive salaries, comprehensive New York City employee benefits, and membership in the New York City Employees’ Retirement System (NYCERS). Most bureaus offer one day of remote work per week for experienced attorneys, and some positions may be available on a part-time basis. The Kings County District Attorney’s Office is committed to building and sustaining a team that reflects the diversity of Brooklyn. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer.
