Business Outlook
Pros
Dedicated group of attorneys, investigators, paralegals and LSA's. Salary is decent.
Cons
Caseload is too high to provide quality service to clients. Investigators clearing 100 to 150 cases a year, while investigators in the CLU have a case load of 5 to 15 a year. TOTAL MISMANAGEMENT. Current Public Defender has never worked in a government organization and has no clue on how to manage a government department. When the organization runs out of pens and paper, there is a huge problem. He refuses to hire investigators as investigators are retiring or resigning. My section went from 14 investigators down to 3, with no drop in caseload. I know one attorney that tried 100 felony cases in a calendar year!
