The Orleans Public Defenders Office (OPD) aims to provide the citizens of Orleans Parish and each eligible client with the highest quality, client-centered legal representation in Louisiana's criminal justice system -  zealous, conscientious, caring, professional, ethical and skilled - whether in criminal, municipal or traffic court.  

OPD is a community-oriented defender office built upon that zealous defense of the poor and indigent while acknowledging the strengths of clients, families and communities.  Established in 2007, OPD represents nearly 20,000 court-appointed clients each year.
