Arrested in New Orleans Louisiana? Don’t Use Public Defender’s Office

Don’t Rely on the New Orleans Public Defenders Office—Call Crescent City Law

Public Defenders Office Issues in New Orleans:

60 Minutes recently covered a story about the New Orleans Public Defenders office, speaking with nine current and former employees. The piece focused on the issues of serious underfunding and understaffing at the New Orleans Public Defenders office.

More than 80% of defendants in New Orleans can’t afford a lawyer and therefore rely on a public defender. The public defenders interviewed for the 60 Minutes story admitted that they believe many innocent people have been imprisoned due to their lack of resources and adequate representation. Each defendant is only afforded about 5 minutes with their public defender, due to lack of time and staff.

Not having adequate representation would be bad enough in itself, but it is exacerbated by the fact that New Orleans has the highest incarceration rate in Louisiana. In addition, there is no state with a higher rate of wrongful convictions. As sad as it is, you do not want to leave your fate up to the New Orleans Public Defenders office.
