The Tulare County Public Defender Office is dedicated to providing zealous, client-centered, and holistic legal representation to individuals who cannot afford to hire their own attorney. We recognize that justice extends beyond the courtroom, and we strive to address the root causes of system involvement by integrating legal advocacy with social services, community resources, and restorative solutions.
Our mission is to protect the rights, dignity and humanity of every client through compassionate, high-quality defense, ensuring that indigency is never a barrier to justice. By working collaboratively, we seek to empower our clients, reduce recidivism, and advocate for systemic change.
Justice should be equitable, not conditional -- and we are committed to making that vision a reality.
