Mission Statement
Brooklyn Defender Services provides criminal, civil, family and immigration legal defense in over 30,000 cases annually.
About This Cause
Brooklyn Defender Services is one of the nation’s largest public defender offices, representing over 30,000 Brooklyn residents each year. While zealously defending our clients in our core areas of criminal, family, and immigration matters in court, out of court, our staff of talented and dedicated attorneys, social workers, investigators and support staff provides integrated services to our clients to limit the housing, employment and education consequences they face following involvement with the criminal justice system. Our legal practice also includes specialized attorneys who represent particularly vulnerable groups of clients, such as veterans, victims of trafficking, people with mental illness, and adolescents. Our specialized social workers and jail services professionals spend an enormous amount of time in the jails helping people cope with the experience of incarceration. BDS has one of the largest immigration practices in the country, including a division (only one of three in the country) funded solely to represent immigrants in deportation proceedings.
