Snohomish county public defender association Reviews

The Public Defender's ain't really ready to fight your case in a trail, unless it's a slam dunk case. The average PD has at least 60+ cases on their case load. Their over worked and don't have enough time to work each case on a timely matter for trial prep. So the injustice way, or angle they work? Is to get you to plea guilty, with a so called deal or promissarrie from the Prosecution Attorney, wich any threats, promises, or deals! are considered illegal? But by the end of the day, they both get a paycheck from same employer. The Public Defender gets a case closed out, and Prosecution Attorney gets another conviction under it's belt?

Don't call befor they open.(she)will call and tell you(voice mail)there not open In a silly way. got it!...

Just getting a email for a lawyer. Although I may not agree with what's going on in a case Ms. Johnson messaged me back extremely fast. I did appreciate that!

They were friendly, and helpfull in my time of need and have been available to answer any tough questions I have had for them..so thank you.

The receptionist is great and they all work hard to help you.

I am hoping that my new public defender knows what he is doing because I had my last one for a year and she never made any progress

Ashley Neal goes above and beyond. If you should be off doc because of washington vs. Blake (possesin) and u go to jail she is the lady who will get u home and off doc. She has made it happen twice and didn't take no for an answer. She will fight for you:) thank u ashley and the rest of the public defenders

Terrible! More like public PRETENDERS. They do not do their jobs, ask for continuances over and over. They need to assign less cases to their attorneys so they can do their jobs properly. I was the victim and due to my horrible representation, it took 9 months for my case to be dismissed all because my lawyer did not do his job when he was supposed to. This caused me to lose my job, my financial aid for school and almost made me homeless. All because of our wonderful public defenders office. You guys need to do your jobs!
