What Somerset County State's Attorney's Office does

The Somerset County State's Attorney's Office is the chief criminal prosecution agency for Somerset County, Maryland, a small rural county on the Eastern Shore with roughly 24,000 residents. The office prosecutes violations of Maryland state law occurring within the county, enforces child support orders, and coordinates victim-witness services across both district and circuit court proceedings.

The office operates from a single location at 30500 Prince William Street, Princess Anne, Maryland, and is staffed by approximately 12 personnel: State's Attorney Wess Garner, Deputy State's Attorney Kendra Hayward, four Assistant State's Attorneys (Megan Tawes, Alison Jeanes, Helena Beckstead, Victoria Bolling), legal secretary supervisors, victim-witness coordinators, and child support unit staff. The office maintains operational partnerships with the Somerset County Circuit Court and Sheriff's Office to execute its prosecutorial mandate.

The office is a government entity, not a commercial enterprise. It is funded entirely through county tax revenue and state funding allocations, with no direct revenue generation from services. Child support enforcement and victim-witness services are provided at no cost to county residents. The entity has no proprietary technology products and uses standard government office technology infrastructure, including case management systems and standard communication tools.

• Wicomico County State's Attorney's Office: Neighboring Maryland Eastern Shore county prosecutor's office providing identical criminal prosecution, child support enforcement, and victim witness services to a different county jurisdiction — directly comparable in mandate, structure, and scale.
• Caroline County State's Attorney's Office: Small Maryland Eastern Shore county prosecutor with comparable staff profile and identical statutory mandates (criminal prosecution, child support, victim witness services) for Caroline County.
• Talbot County State's Attorney's Office: Neighboring Maryland county prosecution office delivering criminal prosecution, child support enforcement, and victim coordination services for Talbot County under identical Maryland statutory authority.

Broad incumbents

• Maryland Office of the Attorney General: State-level public legal authority that shares jurisdiction with local State's Attorney offices on certain criminal matters and provides oversight; functionally adjacent as the state-level public prosecution and legal counsel body in Maryland.
• Baltimore County State's Attorney's Office: Much larger Maryland county prosecution office operating under the same State's Attorney statutory framework, with overlapping functions including criminal prosecution, victim services, and child support — illustrates the broad-incumbent scale variant of the same operating model.
