Public Defender Service
The Public Defender Service (PDS) provides legal representation to individuals who cannot afford an attorney, particularly in criminal cases. It operates under the principle that everyone deserves the right to a fair trial, regardless of their financial status. Public defenders are trained lawyers who work for government agencies, ensuring that clients receive competent legal support throughout the legal process. This service is essential in upholding justice and ensuring that legal rights are protected for all citizens, fostering a fair and equitable legal system.
