When the court appoints a private defender, the case will be sent to the PDP and we will assign you an attorney. If that attorney has your valid contact information, you should hear from them soon. However, if you have not heard from your attorney within one to two weeks after the appointment, please call us at 650-298-4000 and we will provide you with the contact information for your assigned attorney.

In Juvenile Court, an attorney is appointed soon after the filing of the petition and prior to the arraignment. Please contact the juvenile office at 650-312-5396 to get the name of your attorney.
