Co-Founder And Executive Director
CurrentPartners for Justice is changing the national landscape of public defense to ensure every person who faces criminal charges is met with wraparound support. We embed trained non-attorney Client Advocates inside public defender offices to work directly with clients and we help public defenders implement more collaborative practice and systems. Since 2018, PFJ has grown from a two-site pilot to partnering with more than 20 county and state public defense agencies across the country. We have leveraged over $10 million in governmental funding for public defense, directly served over 10,000 people facing criminal charges, and supported defense teams to reduce clients' exposure to incarceration by thousands of days.
