The Wexford and Missaukee County Office of the Public Defender is located in Cadillac, MI. With one Chief Public Defender and three Assistant Public Defenders, its mission is to provide constitutionally guaranteed representation to citizens charged with a crime who cannot afford an attorney. In addition, their approach is to promote a criminal justice system that sets up today's defendants for future success, whether that defendant is guilty or innocent; their vision is to address those factors that lead a defendant to come before a criminal judge. Wexford Missaukee Office attorneys and staff are knowledgeable, capable and compassionate; thus, they are committed to providing the highest quality legal representation while protecting the client's right to a fair and equitable justice system. The Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the rights of criminal defendants, including the right to a public trial without unnecessary delay and the right to a lawyer. The privilege of offering representation to those in need is why the law has offered public defense services. Please contact the Wexford Missaukee Office of the Public Defender directly if you need any further information.
