Simply put, the State of Oregon is facing a public defense crisis, lacking adequate resources for criminal defense investigation. There are thousands of Oregon unrepresented cases where individuals do not have an attorney assigned to them. Constitutionally, these individuals have a right to legal representation, and Oregon is struggling to meet this essential requirement.
Many counties in Oregon are overwhelmed with unrepresented cases that cannot be remedied. The shortage of legal teams, including attorneys, legal assistants, and investigators, has contributed to the public defense crisis. To alleviate this burden, many attorneys are taking on these cases beyond their normal caseloads, often relying on criminal defense investigation to support their efforts.
