Federal Defenders

Federal defenders are public attorneys appointed to represent individuals accused of federal crimes who cannot afford to hire a private lawyer. These defenders are part of the Federal Public Defender's Office, which operates nationwide. They provide legal assistance in cases such as drug offenses, white-collar crimes, and immigration issues. Their primary role is to ensure that defendants receive fair representation in court, uphold their legal rights, and navigate the complexities of the federal legal system. Federal defenders play a crucial part in ensuring justice and balancing the scales between the government and the accused.
