United States Federal Public Defender System

The United States Federal Public Defender System provides legal representation to individuals who cannot afford an attorney in federal criminal cases. Established by Congress, this system ensures that defendants receive fair trials, as mandated by the Sixth Amendment of the Constitution. Each federal district has public defenders and their staff, who are trained professionals dedicated to defending clients in serious legal matters. Public defenders work to protect the rights of their clients, navigate complex legal proceedings, and strive for just outcomes in cases ranging from fraud to drug offenses, all while maintaining the integrity of the legal system.
