About Ulster County Public Defender's Office

The Ulster County Public Defender's Office is a county government department in Kingston, New York, that supplies free legal representation to people who cannot afford an attorney, anchored in the constitutional right to counsel. It covers both criminal and family court matters. Its attorneys are reported to be present at nearly every arraignment in the county and to continue assigned cases through trial and appeal.

Criminal work includes felonies and misdemeanors, probation or parole violations, and criminal appeals. Family Court work covers neglect and abuse proceedings, custody and visitation, family offense petitions, parentage, and child support. The office also runs a confidential early-defense hotline for families contacted by child protective services.
