Good firm - Attorney Metropolitan Public Defender Services Employee Review

Hard working advocates, supportive atmosphere, amazing case managers/investigators/legal assistants, interesting clients!

The Washington County District Attorney’s Office aggressively charges crimes of poverty, so a significant percentage of misdemeanor work involves cases that reasonable or progressive prosecutors would never consider charging. Waste of time and resources.

- got lots of experience directly working with clients going through criminal litigation

- high burnout job - no caseload caps for legal assistants - office culture prioritizes the needs of attorneys over support staff - anti-wfh, even with a doctor's note
