Does the Office of the Public Defender have Investigators?

Yes, our investigators will work as a team with you and your assigned attorney to assist in preparation of your case. Their job is to contact any witnesses and obtain evidence that may help demonstrate your innocence or promote any weaknesses in the prosecutor’s case against you. Frequently, it is the work of our investigators that help obtain not guilty verdicts or lighter sentences for clients.
