Civilly, it both defends the United States when the United States is sued as well as affirmatively pursues civil matters when entities or individuals violate a criminal, regulatory, or civil law. Finally, the United States Attorney's Office also represents the United States on appeals before the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. The office is headquartered in Lexington, with branch offices in Ft. Mitchell and London. All civil and most criminal fraud prosecutions are handled by the Lexington office, while other criminal matters are prosecuted by the Lexington, Ft. Mitchell, and London offices depending on where the crimes occur.
