Indigent Legal Services For Monroe County, NY

Mission Statement

The Monroe County Assigned Counsel Program (A.C.P.) is a panel of attorneys dedicated to providing high quality legal representation to the individuals of Monroe County who are unable to afford counsel in Criminal and Family court matters. The Assigned Counsel Administrator, or in exceptional circumstances the court, will assign a panel attorney when or if the Monroe County Public Defender or the Monroe County Conflict Defender is unable to represent an individual due to a conflict of interest.

We are committed to supporting the panel attorneys by eagerly and diligently advocating on behalf of their clients. We aim to fulfill the high quality standards of this county-wide program. Our goal regarding the client community is to ensure that the panel attorneys have necessary and proper resources available to zealously advocate and address collateral consequences of arrest and conviction. Training and support are available to our panel attorneys including  but not limited to case assistance, case conferencing, mentoring, legal research and continuing legal education.
