deputy district attorney

Benton County Oregon

<div><div><div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">Job Summary</h2></div>
<div>The Benton County District Attorney's Office is seeking a Deputy District Attorney to join our team.
If you wake up every morning with a desire to do the right thing for the right reason, the Benton County District Attorney&rsquo;s Office is where you should be. As a Deputy District Attorney (DDA), you will protect victims&rsquo; rights, promote community safety, hold offenders accountable, and work to protect the constitutional rights of all in the system. You will have the chance to make a real difference in the lives of others. Your case load will be based upon your demonstrated experience and skill set, but as you progress, you can expect to be assigned an increasingly complex and challenging case load.
The goal is to fill this position as a Deputy District Attorney 3.
However, applicants who can meet the minimum qualifications for the Deputy District Attorney 1 or 2 are also encouraged to apply.
The first review of applications will be on February 13, 2026.
Applications that are submitted after this date may or may not be considered for interviews. The posting may close without notice after the first review date when a sufficient number of qualified candidates are received.
Part of a Team:
Our DDA team is composed of up to 12 prosecutors, with a range of experience from 2 to 24 years. Maintaining a high level of skill and professionalism is essential. However, equally important to us is having a team who supports one another, meshes well, and believes in the hard work we do. We emphasize an open-door policy, where each DDA as well as our elected will be available to assist and support you at all times; whether it is learning the practices of a new jurisdiction or providing feedback as you prepare for motions or trials in major cases, we will help you succeed.
How We will Support You:
You will be supported by some of the best, brightest and most seasoned prosecutors in the State of Oregon. You will have true and trusted mentors who will help you to be your best; you will have the opportunity to mentor and support DDAs with less or different experience than yourself. Every year we send most of our DDAs to the ODAA summer conference as a team. We will also provide opportunities for additional training in line with your areas of interest.
Our Prosecution Approach:
We use a vertical prosecution model, where each DDA handles their cases from review and charging through trial and sentencing. You will be encouraged to take on more challenging cases as you advance in skill and experience. We provide our DDAs with a broad range of case assignments, but we will encourage you to develop an expertise in your particular areas of interest. As a deputy district attorney, we will expect you to exercise a fair amount of autonomy regarding your cases, including making charging decisions, or in resolving or trying cases by &ldquo;seeking justice through the truth&rdquo; (our motto).
Annual Salary Ranges:<ul><li>
Deputy District Attorney 3: $115,335 - $161,469</li><li>
Deputy District Attorney 2: $107,278 - $146,288</li><li>
Deputy District Attorney 1: $96,194 - $131,175</li></ul>

If, for example, your starting pay is $126,783.49, your first raise will be to $132,635.78 and your second to $138,402.58.</li><li>

Working in the DA's office is more of a calling than a job. It's the impact you make every day on the lives of the people of Oregon that drives people to become prosecutors. Law school was only the beginning. Here's what you'll learn in your first year as a prosecutor that they didn't teach you in law school: • How to navigate the court system: Some days you'll be assigned the docket for all the cases coming before a judge that day. Since every judge is different, you will learn the nuances of working within the system efficiently and professionally as you represent the entire office.• The thrill of preparing for and conducting trials: You will experience firsthand the excitement and complexity of everything from preparing witnesses for trial, jury selection and trial presentation to help the jury make an informed and just decision.• Plea negotiation with defense attorneys: In your first year you'll be negotiating with highly seasoned and skilled litigators. It will be a crash course in negotiation techniques, judgment, fairness and doing the right thing (our motto!).• The influence of a prosecutor: You will review criminal cases, decide on whether to charge and, which, if any, charges are appropriate. You will decide a plea offer that best serves the community, and when negotiations fail, how to win your case at trial.While your journey starts in the misdemeanor unit, advancement and opportunity can come quickly. Sometime soon you will get a call in the middle of the night inviting you to shadow one of our top prosecutors at the scene of a homicide. We encourage you to increase your learning, skills and experiences to eventually prosecute the most challenging and difficult felony cases. What's Different about the Clackamas County District Attorney's Office? • We support you at every step along the journey. You'll have access to, and be mentored by, some of the best, brightest and most seasoned prosecutors in the State of Oregon. Our environment is not sink or swim. You will have true and trusted mentors who will guide you throughout your career.• This office distinguishes itself from others by allowing each DDA the autonomy to do what's right, while offering guidance, support, collaboration with peers and resources needed to get the job done.• With over 400,000 citizens and 1800 square miles that include Oregon's tallest mountain and its second largest river, this County has it all!• We have one of the highest retention rates because people like working and living in Clackamas County. It's not just a job, it's a lifelong career.• Each DDA in this office carries a caseload from charging to sentencing -- always advocating for what is ethically, morally, and legally right. We embrace and insist on diversity including ethnic, cultural, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, disability and diversity of ideas and viewpoints. Our ability to serve our community requires varied perspectives and insights. We invite you to bring your ideas and life experiences and apply those to the work of the DA's office. If you are up to the challenge of this rewarding career and want to make Clackamas County a better, safer place to live, then apply now!
