Good people low pay - Case Manager Metropolitan Public Defender Services Employee Review

Hard working advocates, supportive atmosphere, amazing case managers/investigators/legal assistants, interesting clients!

The Washington County District Attorney’s Office aggressively charges crimes of poverty, so a significant percentage of misdemeanor work involves cases that reasonable or progressive prosecutors would never consider charging. Waste of time and resources.

Trial experience, collegiality, caseload management getting better

High turnover, lack of diversity (although common for Oregon in general)
