The Law Office of the Public Defender protects the constitutional rights of the indigent and marginalized accused of violating the law or facing involuntary civil commitment. We stand between these individuals and the government to ensure that no person’s life or liberty is taken without due process of law. To that end, our mission is zealous advocacy on behalf of our clients. Through staunch representation, each defender breathes life into the Florida Constitution and Bill of Rights so that all stand equal before the law.
