Not unless the attorney in the case is the prosecuting attorney (The State). Even then, a complainant may take the case to either another venue with jurisdiction, or to an higher prosecutor. However, charges are never dropped if a defense attorney refuses to take the case.

Unfortunately, once you have made the report, it cannot just be canceled.

How much time does the dea have to appeal a case after charges are dropped?
Do you mean dropped or dismissed? Charges are dropped by the prosecutors office and since (presumably) the case never reached trial, no judicial action took place that action is not appealable in court. On the other hand, charges which are dismissed by the court CAN be appealed and there is a "reasonable" time period for remedying the underlying reason. Ask your defense attorney.

In the US, anybody and sue anyone for anything . . the question is, do you have a case?
