A District Attorney (DA) is the prosecuting officer of a criminal case (i.e., the official who represents the government in the prosecution of criminal offenses).
It may be necessary to speak to the prosecution in order to request a plea agreement, to try to get charges dropped, or to learn more about the case against you. However, some prosecutors will not speak to a defendant (they'll speak to your attorney) and in all jurisdictions a defendant should think carefully before speaking to the DA. Your communication could have negative results if you inadvertantly reveal information or fail to properly represent yourself.

Consult with a Lawyer Before Speaking to a Nebraska District Attorney
Before you speak to the person prosecuting you, consider asking a friendlier party for their advice. It's a good idea to speak to an experienced criminal defense attorney who can review your case for potential defenses and discuss strategy for your case.
