Champaign County is a great place to live!

Thank you for visiting the website of the Champaign County Prosecutor’s Office. First elected in 1996, Nick A. Selvaggio is currently serving his fourth four-year term as the elected Champaign County Prosecuting Attorney.

Ohio law authorizes the County Prosecuting Attorney to prosecute all criminal conduct occurring in Champaign County. The Champaign County Prosecutor’s Office prosecutes cases involving adult felony and associated misdemeanor offenses, and juvenile delinquency matters that would be felony or misdemeanor criminal offenses if committed by an adult.

Champaign County Municipal Prosecutor Gil S. Weithman, who also holds the position of Urbana City Law Director, prosecutes cases involving solely misdemeanor-level offenses. Appointed to his position, Prosecutor Weithman practices in the Champaign County Municipal Court and has duties separate and apart from the Champaign County Prosecutor’s Office.

In addition to its criminal prosecution responsibilities, the County Prosecutor’s Office is also responsible for representing the legal interests of all county and township elected officials, all county departments, and all county boards. As their legal counsel, the Prosecuting Attorney provides legal advice and acts upon their direction regarding any legal issue they determine to pursue or defend.

The Champaign County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office is composed of three main divisions, the Criminal Division, Juvenile Division, and Civil Division, and consists of the elected county prosecutor, three assistant county prosecutors, two victim advocates and one office administrator.
