Public Defender

At the Minnehaha County Public Defender's Office, we strive to provide exceptional legal representation and social advocacy to those who have limited access to resources. We are proud to serve the citizens of this community and mindful that each client's dignity, pride, as well as our integrity, are all equal components to vigorously defending one's individual rights.

Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice.
