Currently, he is a member of the Special Prosecutions Unit in the Detroit U.S. Attorney’s Office, prosecuting civil rights offenses, public corruption and environmental crimes. Bullotta began his law career as a prosecutor in the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. In 1997, he was appointed an assistant U.S. attorney in Los Angeles by then Attorney General Janet Reno. As a federal prosecutor in L.A., he prosecuted domestic and international drug trafficking cartels. Bullotta currently works in the Detroit U.S. Attorney’s Office where he prosecutes public corruption cases.
