First of all - individual persons can NOT "file charges" against anybody. The most you could do is REPORT an offense against you to law enforcement who will investigate - make an arrest (if warranted), or apply for a warrant.
* [Law enforcement often use the phrases 'file' or 'press' charges to mean 'file an official complaint', so in common terms one can 'file charges'. This is a sworn/attested-to and signed document. You actually 'FILE ACCUSATIONS'. ]
-
It is the PROSECUTOR who actually files charges against people. "NO"
-
* [The jurisdiction's (city, county/parish, state, nation) attorney's (legal) office will review the case and evidence and determine to pursue prosecution. If pursued, the jurisdiction's ATTORNEY'S OFFICE will file FORMAL CHARGES and create a CASE. The attorney assigned to the CASE is the PROSECUTING ATTORNEY.]
-
All court cases are public records, therefore, anyone could look at the court record and find out who it was that made the original report to law enforcement.
If an attorney attempts to coerce you into withdrawing a valid complaint, they are guilty of criminal misconduct and violations of the ethics of the bar association and can be disciplined, if not arrested.
