The Southern District of Florida Federal Public Defender's Office is committed to providing compassionate and vigorous defense to clients who have been charged with federal crimes and cannot afford a private defense attorney. Each attorney is appointed by the Court to represent their clients, and the office is dedicated to offering effective legal representation with transparency and accessibility. With a focus on the well-being and safety of their clients, the office has implemented measures to reduce physical presence in the office and ensure communication through phone, letter, and email.
For clients and their families, the website offers information on finding court-appointed attorneys and answers to frequently asked questions related to arrest, bail, detention, sentencing, and appeals. Attorneys appointed under the Criminal Justice Act can also find resources and information on the website, including training and Continuing Legal Education opportunities. The office stays updated with legal news and provides updates on cases, ensuring that clients receive the highest quality representation in these unprecedented times.
