County Public Defender Offices

County Public Defender Offices are government-funded legal organizations that provide defense services to individuals unable to afford an attorney in criminal cases. Their primary purpose is to ensure that everyone, regardless of income, receives a fair trial as guaranteed by the Constitution. Public defenders represent clients in court, negotiate plea deals, and offer legal advice throughout the legal process. They play a crucial role in the justice system by advocating for the rights of the accused and working to uphold the principle of equal access to legal representation.
