The Prosecuting Attorney would technically be your attorney in your ex-boyfriend's criminal case. Their office may have a Victim's Advocate who would protect your rights. If you wish to sue your ex-boyfriend in a civil matter, you would need an attorney, or you might be able to file your claim in small claims court without an attorney if your damages are less than $5000.
Hope this helps.
