The Bronx Defenders

Mission

The Bronx Defenders is a public defender that is radically transforming how people in the Bronx are represented in our legal system and, in doing so, is transforming the system itself. We have pioneered a groundbreaking, nationally recognized model of holistic defense that achieves better outcomes for our clients. Each year, we defend over 20,000 low-income Bronx residents in criminal, civil, child welfare, and immigration cases, and reach thousands more through our community intake and outreach programs.
