About Warren County Public Defender's Office
The Warren County Public Defender's Office is a county agency in New York that provides free legal representation to residents who cannot pay for a lawyer. Its stated mission covers criminal court, family court, arraignments, and parole violation hearings. The office describes a holistic model in which it coordinates with community providers for mental health and substance use counseling, housing, childcare, and employment assistance alongside its legal work. Eligibility depends on federal poverty guidelines, and clients typically apply at their first court appearance.
The office's listed functions include criminal defense for matters heard in Warren County Court and the local town and city courts, and representation in Family Court cases involving custody, parenting time, family offenses, paternity, child protective proceedings, and support violations. It also represents people in parole revocation proceedings. The public contact page gives an address at 1340 State Route 9 in Lake George, while most staff have moved to 333 Glen Street in downtown Glens Falls, a space that New York State pays to lease.
