GRAND RAPIDS, MI— There’s a new U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Michigan.
On Monday, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi appointed Timothy VerHey to serve as interim U.S. Attorney. He will serve as the chief federal law enforcement officer representing the United States in all federal and civil litigation in the Western District of Michigan. The district encompasses 1.6 million people and covers the western half of the Lower Peninsula and all the Upper Peninsula.
VerHey has been a federal prosecutor in Grand Rapids for nearly 35 years. After two years as an attorney at the Grand Rapids law firm Warner, Norcross & Judd, VerHey joined the U.S. Attorney’s Office in 1990.
VerHey said, “I am honored that Attorney General Bondi has asked me to serve as the U.S. Attorney for this district. The people of West Michigan expect that I and the members of this office will apply federal law in a fair and effective manner, and that is exactly what we will do.”
