Why shouldn’t I settle for a public defender?

Public defenders are an integral part of the legal system. Unfortunately, they are overworked - and are handling too many cases. As a result, they are unable to provide the best possible defense. Public defenders work for the state, and you have to wonder if there’s a potential conflict of interest when it comes to their allegiance. Can you truly believe they’re 100% on your team? Unfortunately, no. They are paid by the state, and have relationships to maintain at court. In many courts, public defenders have a cozy relationship with local court officials. As a result, we recommend you to never accept a public defender - if you have the opportunity to hire a private criminal attorney.
