Criminal Defense

In 2020, PJP defended SB & SLO County community members in 628 misdemeanor cases and 50 felony cases

All cases involved clients who were experiencing homelessness and/or poverty. 

 

“…the true measure of our commitment to justice, the character of our society, our commitment to the rule of law, fairness, and equality cannot be measured by how we treat the rich, the powerful, the privileged, and the respected among us. The true measure of our character is how we treat the poor, the disfavored, the accused, the incarcerated, and the condemned.” 


- Bryan Stevenson
