The Bronx Defenders is a public defender office located in the South Bronx neighborhood of New York City. Founded in 1997 by its executive director Robin Steinberg, the Bronx Defenders is responsible for developing holistic defense, an interdisciplinary model of criminal defense lawyering. At the Bronx Defenders, criminal defense lawyers work together with civil lawyers, family defense lawyers, immigration lawyers, non-attorney advocates, social workers, and investigators to help their clients address the full range of legal and social issues that can result from criminal charges. In recent years, the Bronx Defenders has received national attention and praise for its work providing holistic defense to indigent residents of the Bronx, including the National Legal Aid & Defender Association’s Clara Shortridge Foltz Award. - Source: Wikipedia
