Tennessee District Public Defenders
Government
We begin working on your case immediately after you’ve been arraigned and assigned to our office. In order for our office to represent you on your active criminal case, you must let the judge know that you would like to be represented by a public defender and that you cannot afford to hire a private attorney. Our office is equipped with some of the best counsel in the country. Our attorneys work tirelessly year-round to provide a fair, just and zealous defense for our clients. Our lawyers have studied in some of the best law schools in the country, and they’re not afraid to fight for you. Public Defenders are Public Servants. We are real lawyers.. We’re here to represent, advocate and fight for you and your right to a just and fair trial. You are entitled to be represented by counsel whether you can afford it or not. In order for us to represent you, the judge of the court where your case is being heard will appoint our office after finding that you are indigent. Indigent simply means you have insufficient money to afford an attorney to handle the pending case against you.
