Ada County Public Defender

The public defenders at the Ada County office are dedicated to offering comprehensive legal support for individuals facing criminal charges in Idaho's Fourth Judicial District. Our team is appointed to guide clients from their first court appearance through to the resolution of their case, including representation during jury trials. We strive to foster a culture built on respect and teamwork while embracing the diverse backgrounds of those we serve. Our collective efforts ensure that every client’s right to be presumed innocent and receive a fair trial is upheld; if convictions occur, we advocate for just sentencing by presenting thorough mitigation evidence that reflects each client’s life story beyond just their allegations. At trial, our focus remains on delivering an assertive defense tailored uniquely for each individual we represent.
