New York County Defender Services

New York County Defender Services NYCDS provides pro-bono legal and social services to 20,000 people per year.

The goal in 1997 remains the same as it does today with 68 attorneys, forensic social workers, investigators and administrative staff members – to provide what we call the ‘greatest good’ for clients of which there have been over 300,000 since 1997. The greatest good has come in many forms at NYCDS depending on the needs of our clients. The greatest good begins with, “Your client is released witho

ut bail” but also includes, “we’ve found a bed for your client”, “your client has been accepted into the program”, “our family has been reunited” and of course “not guilty”. What began in 1997 as a small but ambitious criminal defense firm has grown into the second largest criminal defense firm in New York County handling over 20,000 cases per year. NYCDS is here to assist our clients in any way that we can including civil and criminal legal advocacy, housing and benefits advocacy, immigration advice and representation. Languages spoken by the NYCDS staffers include: Arabic, Bangla, Creole, French, German, Italian, Mandarin, Polish, Romanian, Slovene, Spanish and Yiddish.
