Ok, in a small community there may be only one DA, City or County Attorney, etc. And that one person may well be elected. However, in a larger jurisdiction, the District/City/County Attorney's office may well employ a number of attorneys, and they are probably divided into specialty groups. Chances of directly dealing with the primary official are small unless it is a very small office. That said, there will be an appropriate person to deal with, and a chian to follow upwards if you do not get satisfaction from the person with whom you first encounter.
