Who is your Public Defender?

To find your assigned Public Defender, locate the county or circuit where your case is being handled from the lists below. Click on the link to your county or circuit's Public Defender office for contact details. Once there, you can contact the office to ask for your assigned Assistant Public Defender.

Who is the supervisor of my assigned Public Defender?
