The Walworth County Public Defender's Office is located in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. They provide a fully competent, effective, and ethical defense to each client whose cause has been entrusted to the office for representation. In addition, the office has Assistant Special Public Defenders (SPD), attorneys, and other supporting staff that provide legal representation to indigent defendants in Walworth County who cannot pay for private counsel and risk losing their liberty if convicted. The office's mission is to zealously represent clients, protect constitutional rights, and advocate for an effective and fair criminal justice system. Their commitment is to treat their clients with dignity and compassion. An individual must apply for a public defender by completing a detailed financial statement and agreeing to provide documentation concerning the applicant's financial eligibility, income, assets (including spousal income and assets), family size, and the type of case for which the applicant seeks SPD representation.
