public defense organizations

Public defense organizations are government-funded agencies that provide legal representation to individuals who cannot afford a private attorney, typically in criminal cases. Their goal is to ensure that everyone receives a fair trial, regardless of income. These organizations employ trained lawyers who handle cases from arrest through sentencing, advocating for their clients' rights and due process. Funded by state and local governments, public defense organizations help maintain justice and equality within the legal system by offering specialized, dedicated legal support for those in need.
