What happens after I file an affidavit and submit evidence?

The prosecutor will review your affidavit, as well as the evidence you provided, to decide if criminal charges should be filed. Your affidavit will then be denied or approved. This step usually takes less than a week. You may check back with the City Attorney’s Office a week after filing to check the status of your affidavit.
