Question
Should I try to hire a private attorney because they will do a better job/the Public Defender is overworked/not as experienced/doesn’t care/works for the County/works for the Judges/works for the State?
Answer
Monroe County is fortunate to have a group of experienced dedicated attorneys working in the Public Defender Office who protect the rights and interests of each and every client, not only because it is their sworn duty as an attorney, but each attorney has shown a personal commitment to provide the best legal representation possible. Monroe County has assisted in this endeavor by electing to participate in the State Plan that limits the number of active cases an attorney may be assigned so that more time may be given to individual cases.
