Public Defender System

The public defender system provides legal representation to individuals accused of crimes who cannot afford private attorneys. When someone is charged with a crime and lacks the financial means to hire a lawyer, a public defender is appointed by the court to defend them. These attorneys are qualified professionals committed to ensuring a fair trial and safeguarding legal rights, regardless of a defendant’s economic status. The system aims to promote justice by providing access to legal defense for all, preventing the imbalance that could occur if only those who could pay received proper representation.
