MISSION STATEMENT

The Chenango County Public Defender’s Office is an office that provides legal representation to individuals in criminal, family and some surrogate court proceedings who are unable to afford to hire an attorney, also known as indigent individuals. The Public Defender’s Office is an independent department of the Chenango County Government that was founded to fulfill the constitutional obligation of each county in New York State to provide indigent legal defense.

Guided by the requirements of the Constitutions of the United States and of New York and the New York rules of legal ethics, the attorneys and staff of this office strive to ensure that each client receives high quality and zealous representation.
