Madison County, NY Assigned Counsel Program

The Assigned Counsel Office for Madison County is located in Wapsville, NY. With Staff Attorneys and support staff, the Assigned Counsel Program coordinates the assignment of attorneys to represent individuals who cannot afford to retain an attorney in various Criminal and Family Court matters. The right to counsel guaranteed to every American citizen accused of a crime is embodied in the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution and made applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. An integral component of the right to counsel is the right to court-appointed counsel for those unable to hire an attorney. The privilege of offering representation to those in need is the reason why the law has offered public defense services. The Public Defender ensures that every accused citizen, regardless of financial resources, receives zealous and effective representation as mandated by the United States and New York Constitutions.
