Indigent Defendant Services

Indigent Defendant Services refer to legal assistance provided to individuals who cannot afford to hire a lawyer in criminal cases. These services ensure that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, has the right to legal representation. Typically, public defenders or legal aid organizations step in to defend these defendants in court. The goal is to uphold justice and ensure fair treatment in the legal system, recognizing that access to a qualified attorney is crucial for a fair trial and for protecting individual rights.
