Federal Public Defender’s Office For The District of Massachusetts

The Federal Public Defender's Office for the U.S. District of Massachusetts is located in Boston, MA. With one federal public defender, one first assistant federal public defender, a senior litigator, one trial unit chief, and 10 panel attorneys, the Federal Public Defender's Office represents individuals who cannot afford to hire an attorney in federal criminal cases and in other related matters. Public defenders are assigned to cases by the U.S. District Courts and by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Requests for counsel should be made directly to the appropriate court. The Office's mission is to provide legal representation to the clients they serve, and that mission is fulfilled through a collaborative effort. Their attorneys, investigators, paralegals, and support staff work cohesively to achieve the goal of equal justice.
