Q: I’m looking for a public defender to represent me in a civil court traffic case which I have jury trial in October
I feel I’m being wrongfully sued for 25,000. Trail is in Butler County Ohio. I am nervous and don’t know where to start. if someone could point me in the right direction, I’d greatly appreciate it.
A: The Public Defender's Office represents indigent folks in criminal cases, not civil. Your local Legal Aid society is the place to contact for civil matters, if you are unable to afford representation in a civil matter. I am not sure if they will traffic matter but its worth reaching out to them. Here is their website: https://lascinti.org/
