Defensores Públicos

Defensores Públicos, or public defenders, are legal professionals who represent individuals who cannot afford to hire an attorney in criminal cases and certain civil matters. Their role is to ensure that everyone has fair legal representation, upholding the principle of justice for all, regardless of economic status. Public defenders work within the legal system to advocate for their clients' rights, often facing heavy caseloads. They play a crucial role in protecting the rights of the underprivileged and ensuring that the legal process is accessible to everyone, contributing to a more equitable society.
