⚖️ The Public Defender's Office embraces a client-centered representation approach, emphasizing the individual's unique circumstances and the belief that every person should be judged within the context of their life experiences. This approach is embodied in the work of The Public Defender's Office Committee, which places criminal law within a broader social framework. The committee strives to understand the underlying causes of criminal behavior, acknowledging that such actions often have deeper roots. 🤝 Through this holistic perspective, the Public Defender's Office recognizes its clients as individuals, not merely "cases." It is committed to treating each person with respect, addressing all their needs, and making the legal process more accessible and humane.
