Meet the U.S. Attorney

Zachary A. Myers has served as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana since November 15, 2021. Myers was nominated by President Joseph R. Biden and was unanimously confirmed by the Senate.

As the U.S. Attorney, Myers leads an office of approximately 100 Assistant United States Attorneys (AUSAs) and support professionals who litigate matters involving federal criminal offenses, civil litigation and the promotion of public safety and civil rights throughout the district.

Myers serves in several roles in support of the Department of Justice as a whole, including as chair of the Attorney General Advisory Committee’s Cyber and Intellectual Property Subcommittee. He also serves on the subcommittees for White Collar Crime and Office Management & Budget, and on the Department of Justice’s Juvenile Violence Working Group. Myers regularly speaks to community groups, students, and law enforcement officers about issues including public service, increasing public safety, and promoting civil rights.

Before assuming office as U.S. Attorney, Myers spent more than a decade as a career federal prosecutor—serving as an AUSA in the Southern District of Indiana and the District of Maryland. As an AUSA, Myers led investigations, prosecutions and appeals of a wide range of federal offenses with a focus on cyber and technology-facilitated crimes.

Myers earned his bachelor’s degree from Stanford University, his master’s degree from George Washington University, and his J.D. from the Georgetown University Law Center. Before becoming a federal prosecutor, Myers worked in the private sector and on Capitol Hill. Myers grew up in Indianapolis and is the first Black person to serve as the district’s chief federal law enforcement officer.
