Tuolumne County Public Defender's Office

The Tuolumne County Public Defender's Office is a legal entity staffed by attorneys who have completed law school and passed the state bar exam, dedicated to providing legal representation to individuals who cannot afford private counsel. Committed to ensuring a balanced justice system, the office represents indigent adults and handles various cases, including misdemeanors, felonies, juvenile cases, and child dependency matters.

In instances where a conflict arises that prevents the Public Defender's Office from representing a client, cases may be assigned to the Conflicts Division or alternative private attorneys at reduced rates. The office plays a crucial role in safeguarding the rights of those assigned by the Superior Court, ensuring access to legal support for vulnerable populations.
