Take Control of Your Defense

If you are arrested and offered a representation from the Public Defender's Office then you need to very quickly evaluate your options. Public Defenders are not all as bad as the rap that they get, they have all received a Juris Doctorate from an accredited law school and they have passed their state's respective bar examination so they are just as qualified as any other criminal defense attorney. The big difference is that they are often flooded with cases and they generally aren't as invested in their clients because they are assigned their cases, they don't do consultations and evaluate the case and the client before agreeing to represent them. The public defenders office is a great place for new attorneys to get experience and learn from making mistakes because generally the risk is lower.
