Park County, WY Public Defender’s Office

The Park County Public Defender's Office is located in Cody, WY. With one Supervising Attorney and other legal support staff, the Park County Public Defender's office's mission is to provide effective assistance of counsel to indigent adults and juveniles accused of a crime in the county. 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 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. Individuals who are determined to be eligible for court-appointed counsel do not have the right to choose who their attorney will be. However, they do have the right to have competent legal representation. The Public Defender ensures that every accused citizen, regardless of financial resources, receives zealous and effective representation as mandated by the United States and Wyoming Constitutions. For more information on the services of the Park County office, please contact them directly.
