Public Defender Services
Public Defender Services provide legal representation to individuals who cannot afford to hire a private attorney. These services are typically offered by government-funded organizations and ensure that everyone has access to legal counsel, particularly in criminal cases. Public defenders are trained lawyers who specialize in defending clients in court.
The primary goal of Public Defender Services is to uphold the right to a fair trial as guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. By offering free legal assistance, these services help protect the rights of low-income individuals and ensure that justice is served, regardless of a person's financial situation.
