Navajo County Attorney

Navajo County Attorney
Welcome to the Navajo County Attorney’s Office website. Here you will find information
about our various departments, along with a number of helpful forms.
The Navajo County Attorney’s Office provides many services to the citizens of Navajo
County. Prosecuting crime is our primary function along with providing legal advice
to the county’s elected officials and departments. However, we also provide a variety
of other services to citizens, such as assistance with adoptions,
bad check recovery, child support
collection, and services to victims and witnesses.
We serve all of Navajo County, including our citizens living on the Navajo Nation,
the Hopi reservation and the White Mountain Apache reservation. While most crimes
on tribal lands fall under federal or tribal jurisdiction, several cases each year
(especially those involving the transportation of drugs) are prosecuted by the Navajo
County Attorney’s Office.
The Navajo County Attorney’s Office also assists with negotiating intergovernmental
agreements between the county, state, cities and towns, tribal authorities and federal
agencies such as the Bureau of Indian Affairs. These agreements foster close working
partnerships among the participants and often benefit tribal lands by providing
for the creation and maintenance of roads, ensuring a coordinated approach to critical
activities such as homeland security and public health, and enhancing law enforcement
and emergency preparedness.
We are proud of our part in fostering closer relationships with the tribal governments
and providing comprehensive services to all the citizens of Navajo County.
