Instead of being the lost soul of a loner drifting aimlessly having a peripatetic wind, I'm now preferring something with more bite to it. As experience is just nature cruel way of giving the exams first followed by their lessons; you eventually reach a point where silence can no longer be contained no matter the cost.

A Message from the Solicitor-General Sherry Boston
As your Solicitor-General, I believe smart prosecution leads to a better quality of life. I want to make DeKalb County safer for everyone – from Avondale Estates to Brookhaven, Chamblee, Clarkston, Decatur, Doraville, Dunwoody, Lithonia, Pine Lake, Stone Mountain and to the small portion of the city of Atlanta that rounds out our county – by preventing and deterring criminal activity through the professional and impartial prosecution of crimes.
My Office is committed to upholding the laws and statutes of Georgia and DeKalb County while working closely with our police and communities to develop strategies to prevent crimes before they occur so that the 700,000 citizens living in DeKalb can enjoy the quality of life they deserve and want despite these trying economic times.
Making DeKalb better is a multi-pronged effort. It involves Educating Our Kids,Stopping Violence in the Home, Keeping Our Community Safe, and Improving Quality of Life. As you explore our website, I hope you are as energized as I am about the great work your public servants – prosecutors, investigators, victim and witness advocates, community liaison, and legal secretaries – undertake on your behalf.
Solicitor-General Sherry Boston oversees the prosecution of prosecutes approximately 13,000 misdemeanor cases in DeKalb County each year. These cases include domestic violence, elder abuse, cruelty to children, vehicular homicide, drunk driving, harassment and stalking, trespassing, animal cruelty and educational neglect. Solicitor-General Sherry Boston is committed to making sure justice is served and that everyone gets a fair trial.
As part of her commitment to justice, Solicitor-General Sherry Boston has created a Special Victims Unit (SVU) to restore the dignity, safety and well-being of DeKalb County citizens who have been victimized by crimes. SVU Advocates are trained to provide leadership, guidance and information to crime victims and their families including court-related services and referrals to social services and counseling. This type of assistance is especially important in cases of domestic violence or elder abuse where victims may be in danger and need to file a restraining order or find a safe place to live. Learn more about the Special Victims Unit here, or to contact an advocate with SVU, email: solicitorinfo@dekalbcountyga.gov or call (404) 371-2201.
Citizens who have been impacted by crime in their neighborhoods also get a chance to be heard through Solicitor-General Sherry Boston’s Court Watch Program. Members of Court Watch can speak in court during the sentencing phase so that the judge is aware of the impact repeat offenses are having on the community. In 2014, testimony of Court Watch members led to one repeat offender getting permanently banned from returning to DeKalb County. Learn more about that case here: Repeat Offender Banned from DeKalb County. Find out more information about the Court Watch program here.
Improving the quality of life for DeKalb residents is rooted in prosecuting crime and deterring crime through community prosecution − a nationally-proven method that uses a proactive, integrated, solutions-based and grassroots approach to combat quality-of-life crimes in targeted areas through partnerships among the community, police and prosecutors.
Solicitor-General Boston hired DeKalb County’s first full-time community prosecutor during her first year in office, and in March 2014, she hired a second community prosecutor to expand the program. Both community prosecutors work with neighborhood residents, community organizations, service providers, the faith community and police to identify public safety problems and to promote long-term solutions to quality-of-life issues vexing DeKalb communities. These quality-of-life issues can include graffiti, vandalism, trespassing, disorderly conduct, drug solicitation, prostitution, and aggressive panhandling. Other issues can include an absentee landlord who allows a tenant to sell beer, cigarettes, drugs or sex from his or her apartment as well as be the landlord who turns a blind eye to the tenant operating an unlicensed bar, dance club or “massage” parlor from a commercial space. Or, it can be the persistent presence of criminal activity in a private or public space.
Deputy Chief SVU/Community Prosecution Sonja Brown
Deputy Chief of the Special Victims Unit and Community Outreach Sonja Brown oversees the program, working alongside Community Prosecutor Hannah Chung. Dedicated to finding real solutions to crime problems in our neighborhoods, both community prosecutors hold regular office hours at police precincts throughout DeKalb, attend countless Homeowner and Community Association meetings and participate in numerous community events.
Additionally, our community prosecutors identify “frequent flyers,” or repeat offenders − who are known to go through the courts as if they’re going in and out of a revolving door − and then share that information with fellow prosecutors, who, in turn, inform judges to help them determine appropriate sentences.
Community Prosecutor Hannah Chung
If needed, our community prosecutors direct defendants to therapeutic treatment. In some instances, they personally prosecute cases of “frequent flyers” or those of particular interest to a community.
Our Community Prosecution Program also tackles nuisance properties – those properties known within the community to sustain criminal activities – through the filing of civil nuisance abatement actions.Learn more about nuisance abatement here.
To reach one of our community prosecutors, please contact the Solicitor-General’s Office at (404) 371-2201 or email solicitorinfo@dekalbcountyga.gov.

Thanks to my Deputy Chief Assistant Solicitor-General of SVU and Community Outreach Sonja Brown, Community Prosecutor Hannah Chung, witnesses in our Court Watch program and DeKalb County Police for helping get a repeat offender banned from DeKalb County. As part of the plea agreement in a case presided over by Judge Stacey Hydrick, Defendant Charles Butts accepted a one-way ticket to Tennessee. Now if he returns to DeKalb County, police can arrest Butts immediately. Business owners are relieved because crime had dropped more than 50 percent near Moreland Avenue each time Butts was arrested and serving time.
