We seek both to serve Bronx residents with matters before the civil, criminal and family court system by addressing the root causes and consequences of their involvement in the justice system through the practice of Holistic Defense and to promote the theory and methods of Holistic Defense by offering technical assistance and instruction to legal service providers nationwide.
Established in 1997, The Bronx Defenders opened its store front office in the South Bronx with a goal to transform public, indigent defense. Today, The Bronx Defenders works with more than 14,000 clients providing Holistic Defense, an innovative, results-oriented approach to public defense. Placing the client at the center of services, we seek to mitigate the lingering effects of generational and institutional poverty and racism.
