State’s attorney’s efforts recognized

Will County State's Attorney Jeff Tomczak will receive the Illinois State Crime Commission's State's Attorney of the Year Award. Elected as the 27th state's attorney for Will County in December 2000, Tomczak has stepped up prosecution of DUIs--to a 187 percent increase in convictions in his first year alone.

Tomczak created a Consumer Fraud Unit within his office to assist senior citizens as well as to collect child support. While expanding his office by opening branch offices, he has also provided after-hours service to domestic violence victims.

The Committee on Government Lawyers salutes Jeff Tomczak for this outstanding recognition.
