Office of the Federal Public Defender

The Office of the Federal Public Defender for the Northern District of California, established in 1972, offers legal representation for individuals accused of federal offenses who lack the financial resources to obtain private counsel. Serving the San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose areas, this office is dedicated to upholding the rights of clients throughout the judicial process, from arrest through all appeals, including to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Committed to a client-centered approach, the office employs a diverse team of attorneys, paralegals, and support staff to provide vigorous defense against a wide range of charges, including drug offenses, economic crimes, and violent crimes. They advocate for humane sentencing by presenting a comprehensive understanding of clients as individuals, emphasizing their right to be presumed innocent and treated fairly under the law.
