What recourse do you have if the City refuses to prosecute a clear code violation?
I would approach the city council and ask them to either direct enforcement or modify the city code to match the reality of code enforcement.
When the prosecution refuses to prosecute a case what does that mean?
Nolle Prosequi.Nolle prosequi is a Latin term meaning "we shall no longer prosecute". It is a declaration made by a prosecutor in a criminal case or by a plaintiff in a civil lawsuit either before or during trial, meaning the case against the defendant is being dropped. The declaration may be made because the charges cannot be proved, the evidence has demonstrated either innocence or a fatal flaw in the prosecution's claim, or the prosecutor has reason to believe that the accused is not guilty. It is generally made after indictment, but it is not a guarantee that the person won't be reindicted

What does a new customer of Sun Trust do when employees mislead and give false answers and supervisors can't help?
The first thing you must do is document the statements that they are telling lies about. Once you have done this you must bring it to your local prosecuting attorney and demand that he/she file criminal fraud charges against Sun Trust. If the prosecutor for your district refuses to prosecute you have a right to bring this evidence to the grand jury for them to hand down an indictment. I suggest that you get someone knowledgeable in the law to assist you at this point. You can recover your losses, both monetary and mental suffering.Another View: First: Private citizens do NOT go directly to a state prosecutor and DEMAND that they bring criminal charges. A citizen can report an alleged offense to law enforcement who will investigate and render a judgment as to whether or not criminal law has been violated. If it has, LAW ENFORCEMENT will bring the case to the prosecutor who will then determine if sufficient evidence exists to prosecute under state law.Further: The above answer assumes that your complaint embodies a criminal element. In actuality, if you have any claim at all, it is most likely a civil matter rather than a criminal one. You will have to consult with a private attorney of your choosing to determine if enough of a case exists to bring suit against the bank.

Can a prosecutor refuse prosecution when a prosecutor has knowledge of a violation of law?
Yes, that is known as "Prosecutorial Discretion." Such decisons, if unpopular, can be a problem at election time, but it is legal.Additionally, I can't remember the case law names though, but the victim, has NO say constitutionally/legally on if a prosecutor refuses to charge or not.Added: Such a decision/determination is known in law as a Nolle Prosequi.I am not 100% certain about this, but I do not believe that a prosecutor has this option in a case where an indictment has been returned by a Grand Jury.
If an attorney refuses your case are the charges dropped?
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.

Your contract with the tradesman is between "You and the Contractor", He did not contract with your insurance company. All the insurance company did is agree to pay the bill for you. So you would need to bring your own civil or criminal action against your contractor depending on the circumstances.
