The Southern District of Florida Federal Public Defender's Office is dedicated to providing compassionate and vigorous legal representation to clients who have been charged with a federal crime and cannot afford a private defense attorney. Each attorney is appointed by the Court to represent their client, and the office is passionate about their mission to ensure effective legal representation. They understand the challenges and stress that come with navigating the legal system and aim to bring transparency and accessibility to the process.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the office has implemented measures to prioritize the health and safety of their staff and clients. While many staff members are working remotely, communication with attorneys and staff is still possible through phone, letter, and email. The office continues to monitor updates from the CDC and government authorities to provide the highest quality representation. They also offer resources and information for clients and families, as well as training opportunities for attorneys appointed under the Criminal Justice Act.
