Luzerne County Public Defender's Office

The absolute worst type of people work here. The attorneys do not call you back or update you on your cases. Just recently went to pick up paperwork and the even the secretary in juvenile section was a complete jerk for zero reason. You’re better off scrounging up money for a real attorney because these people will leave you hanging out to dry.

My lawyer was wonderful, he had so many cases and still he was able to recognize the mistake from the DA! This office truly works for the public good. Thanks a million!

Been trying to call them and get in touch with them and no one is answering service sucks

How is this place getting 5 stars this county is corrupted since the 50s kickbacks and people not doing their job. Not many people can afford a lawyer same as a Dr u are saving someone's life instead public pretender pushes u off doesn't return phone calls doesn't care

I am tired of being told they do not have enough workers to be able to explain process and possible outcomes to mental health inmates and their mental health support worker. I have witnessed no contact until the same day at hearing maybe 5 min max by PD to inmate. Remember disabled inmate be it mental health, TBI or a learning disability have the right to “UNDERSTAND” and be “INFORMED.”
