Public defender or private attorney… does it actually matter?
If you’ve been charged with a crime in Texas, this is one of the first decisions you’ll face.
In this video, Attorney Rob explains how his perspective on public defenders has changed over time—and when hiring a private defense attorney can make a real difference.
Public defenders are a critical part of the system. But they often carry very high caseloads, which can limit the time they’re able to spend on each case.
A private attorney may have more flexibility to focus on strategy, communication, and the details that can impact your outcome.
This video walks you through the differences so you can make an informed decision about your defense.
