If you can afford a private defense attorney, you probably should. Their case load will be considerably smaller.

That said? Public Defenders tend to be some of the hardest working and most passionate people out there. You generally don't get into that unless you believe in justice (even just being a corporate lawyer who rubber stamps paperwork tends to pay significantly more) and they obviously have a LOT of experience in whatever you just did. And they tend to have a solid rapport with most judges because they see them potentially multiple times a week.

So... how about you not be a dick to the people putting the work in?

    Wasn't being a dick even though my name implies it. I have been on a L and O binge for the past couple days so I asked.

    And Dick Wolf is a dipshit who actively villifies public defenders and any form of defense attorney.

    Regardless

    Or is it pretty much the bottom of the barrel for defense and compensation?

    THIS is being a dick. Do better.
