This Saturday, members of our office joined the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Walk to raise awareness and support for mental health. Dressed in green and walking side by side, they honored the individuals they serve and advocated for a system that recognizes the importance of mental well-being.

The event was a powerful reminder that mental health is a community issue, and every step taken brings us closer to a more inclusive and understanding society. Thank you to all who participated and continue to support mental health awareness. 💚

We respect all justice warriors who fight for justice and on behalf of the accused.

Public Defenders provide an essential service in the justice system. They are provided by the Constitution and are here to safeguard the rights of the indigent. We help everyone regardless of income and ability to pay.

Defense attorneys are warriors in and out of the courtroom. They fight for those who no one else will fight for. We will continue to fight alongside other members of the defense bar towards the common goal of fighting against inequality.

Happy Cesar Chavez Day.Our office will be closed today in observance of Cesar Chavez Day.
