Today my husband was appointed a public defender in has case that was ongoing for 4 years, a lot has happened in that time and i truly believe he was not advocated for properly prior. In the small amount of time our new public defender Susan Cooley was given to look over a large daunting stack of case files and information, then briefly introduced to my husband and listened to what he wanted, she AMAZINGLY advocated for him and spoke so well highlighting positives to the judge rather than just telling him he's screwed which has been how he's been treated prior. Thankful for the work public defenders do and the time the take and the knowledge they have anyone who hates on them I can tell you they've done a hell of a lot more than I've seen any paid lawyer do.

The Los Angeles County Public Defender solely pursues factual arguments and plea agreements at the expense of legal matters and constitutional rights of defendants. They will attempt to manipulate you out of your own constitutional rights and call it making "strategic decisions" in your case. But there is no strategic decision where it results in violations of their client's constitutional rights during criminal proceedings. The truth is, guys that no lawyer can lawfully predetermine the interests of any defendant or predetermine the neglect of the constitutional rights of defendants. Defense attorneys also do not possess the authority or discretion to waive, deny, or disregard the constitutional rights of their clients for any reason once soever! Don't let them do this to you. All legally competent defendants have autonomy to choose their own legal defense strategy and all officers of the court, including judges, prosecutors, and public defenders, have legal duties and obligations to ensure the constitutional rights of defendants are upheld at every stage of legal proceedings, even if criminal proceedings are suspended or a defendant is declared incompetent to stand trial. The Los Angeles County Public Defender is actively engaging in systemic legal malpractice by predetermined neglect of all legal aspects of a defendants' defense strategy and imposing their own interests in their clients cases. All defendants have constitutional rights to conflict-free representation, which means defendants have a legal right to object to any public defense counsel neglecting their client's chosen defense strategy. These fundamental rights are important for defendants to ensure laws are applied evenly, fairly, and appropriately against them. This office declared 3 consecutive conflicts of interest without reason in direct response to me asserting my constitutional rights. This office will knowingly violate your constitutional rights and persist if you don't assert your constitutional rights timely and effectively. They will prejudice your defense then declare a conflict of interest that court clerk wont even have record of to absolve themselves. They will subject defendants who attempt to assert their constitutional rights in court to psychological evaluations using PC 738 Competency Assessments from Forensic Psychologists. This office will expend tax payer dollars on expert witness doctors while neglecting the inalienable rights defendants ALREADY HAVE! Absolutely a misappropriation of time and resources. The conduct of this office has now been exposed and they are now subject to considerable civil penalties for knowingly engaging in legal malpractice. I mean, how smart could a lawyer really be if his employer (the courthouse) can convince them to forego their duties and obligations to clients that they took oath to? How could they be legal professionals if they refuse to hold themselves to account for providing ineffective representation during serious criminal matters? Their days of representing the accused constituents of their respective districts are soon coming to a close. And every defendant, far and wide, will be able to stand on their constitutional principles to protect their legal interests without obstruction or impediments. There is just no way to justify why one party should be prejudiced over another for any reason...ever. Mr. Christian Le, Ms. Daroca-Bell, Mr. Casey Lilienfield, and Mr. Kristoffer McFarren have all prejudiced my defense by knowingly denying me my constitutional rights to conflict-free representation. If your public defender attempts to manipulate you out of your constitutional rights under the guise of attorney-client privilege, declare a conflict of interest and send it certified mail to court clerk and presiding judge. As defendants, we are masters of our fate. And if public defense counsel is going to predetermine the interests of defendants that undermine their constitutional protections, it is on us to learn our rights and how to assert them effectively and professionally.

The Los Angeles County Public Defenders Office is excellent. Naturally being a law office that provides free legal representation to quite literally thousands of individuals at a time, it should be understood that sometimes things may take some time in order for the Office to review cases. And then there are times when that’s just not going to be feasible. I will not go as far as to say that it depends on the luck of the draw, but in reality, it depends on the ability for the Office to provide a solid legal defense based on the facts and information provided and/or available. A case that I was involved in, was handled better by the Public Defenders Office than it has ever been handled by any private attorney. I am beyond grateful for the help of the Los Angeles County Public Defenders Office.

What a bunch of bums. Back in '91 I was framed for something I didn't do. They gave me a crooked attorney named Thom Tibor of the public pretenders office who tried to railroad me into pleading guilty even though I was innocent. I had to go to trial pro per. I of course won because everything the public defender's office, and the D.A.'s office had was falsified and easy to prove so. Long story short, they are an arm of a very corrupt D.A.'s office.
