The Federal Defenders of Eastern Washington and Idaho is a legal services organization that operates independent of federal courts. Their funding stems from a sustainable grant provided by the United States Congress through the Criminal Justice Act. Their mission is to provide representation to individuals who face federal charges in the East Washington and North Idaho regions. They operate two physical offices. The organization also offers a vital resource, My Little Red Rules Book, for quick reference and criminal defense. Individuals can participate in trainings for the CJA panel or access resources to prepare for the CJA panel independently as well. Individuals in need of legal representation are encouraged to contact the office closest to them. The main office is in Spokane, Washington and the branch office is in Yakima, Washington. The organization provides both telephone numbers and an email address for inquiries, or for use by those hoping to schedule an appointment to discuss representation.
