Public Defender Information

Public Defender Services

Those charged with a criminal offense may be eligible for a public defender, subject to financial qualifications. All people who have been charged with a crime in the Tukwila Municipal Court that cannot afford an attorney may request a public defender. Applications are available at the Tukwila Municipal Court or fill out the application here.

Public Defender screening takes place on Mondays from 1:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. at Tukwila Municipal Court. Please complete the application and bring copies of all supporting documentation. A Public Defender will be assigned if all qualifications are met. For any questions about Public Defender screening please call (206) 433-1858 on Monday, Wednesday or Friday. For all other Court questions please call the Court Clerk’s Office at (206) 433-1840 Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Clients of Public Defenders have important rights. The Washington State Supreme Court has adopted standards for the conduct of public defenders and guidelines for the services provided by a public defender. The Clients Rights notice is provided to all clients of public defenders. Please read this document carefully.
