This service is essential for maintaining justice and equality within the criminal justice system, ensuring that financial situation does not prevent someone from receiving proper legal counsel. National Defender Services operates under government or nonprofit programs to support these defendants, emphasizing the principle that justice should be accessible to all, regardless of economic status.
