Defending the family lawyer is more than just a job; it’s a human right. A criminal conviction can destroy reputations, impact career opportunities and even strip voting and driving privileges. That’s why it’s so important to get good legal representation – and that’s where Criminal Defense Legal Assistance comes in.
In 1977, New York’s highest court ruled that people who can’t afford their own lawyer must get one appointed to them for felony cases. Since then, that right has been expanded to include children in juvenile delinquency proceedings, probationers in revocation hearings and, in New York City, parents with child welfare cases. Public defender organizations handle between 80% and 90% of the city’s criminal cases, says Tina Luongo, chief attorney for the Criminal Defense Practice at The Legal Aid Society.
The Practice includes experienced trial offices in each borough and innovative model projects that garner expertise and push both the practice and discourse of criminal justice forward. This year they represented nearly 230,000 clients in trial, appellate and post-conviction matters.
