Partner Steven Dettelbach has been appointed to the Board of Directors of the National Association of Former United States Attorneys (NAFUSA) Class of 2028, for a three-year term. Appointed as incoming chair of BakerHostetler’s firmwide Litigation Group starting in January, Dettelbach has been a partner at BakerHostetler three times, first joining the firm in 2006 after a distinguished career as a prosecutor at Main Justice and three different U.S. Attorneys Offices. He then served as the Presidentially-appointed U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio from 2009 to 2016 before rejoining the firm as co-chair in the White Collar, Investigations and Securities Enforcement and Litigation team from 2017 to 2022. Dettelbach then became only the second ever Senate-confirmed Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, serving from 2022 to 2025 before returning to BakerHostetler again.

NAFUSA was founded in 1979 and is a bipartisan group of United States Attorneys with a current membership of U.S. Attorneys appointed by every President since Jimmy Carter.
