The Georgia Public Defender Council is an independent agency within the executive branch of the state government of Georgia, dedicated to ensuring that indigent defendants in Georgia have access to legal representation. With offices in most counties, the Council strives to provide the same level of representation to indigent defendants as those who can afford private criminal defense attorneys.
In California, each county has its own Public Defender Office, where attorneys are employed to provide legal services to defendants who cannot afford private representation. These offices offer representation for a wide range of legal issues, including misdemeanor and felony crimes, domestic violence, juvenile delinquency, child protection, probation and parole hearings, and appeals.
