Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office

I have been charged with a crime and make too much money to be appointed a public defender. However, I cannot afford to pay the retainer required by most private attorneys. Can I talk to the prosecutor? 
Although there is no technical prohibition with talking to the prosecutor if you are not represented by an attorney, it is highly recommended that you take whatever measures you can to obtain an attorney. If you have been charged with a Class A Misdemeanor or Felony there is a possibility that you will serve either a jail or prison sentence. The prosecutor may not be aware of all of the issues or defenses that exist in your case.

The Defendant was ordered to pay restitution, how do I get my money?
The Defendant does not pay restitution directly to the victim of a crime. The payment goes through either the court or the supervisory agency which then issues a check to the victim.

The court ordered restitution in my case, but I haven’t received anything yet. Who do I call?
If the court orders restitution, the DA’s Office will contact you by mail. Generally, that contact will come after a case has been sentenced. Please save any receipts or other information that will help identify how much restitution is necessary.
