The Office of the Appellate Defender is a law practice based in New York City that provides appellate representation. For more than three decades, the organization has focused on clients convicted of felonies in Manhattan or the Bronx who have received imprisonment and post-release supervision, delivering client-centered, trauma-informed advocacy rooted in a commitment to dignity and humanity. Serving a public defense role, it aims to expand access to justice and advance racial equity within the legal system. The firm operates as an institutional defender with a mission forged at the intersection of poverty and injustice, and it is part of New York’s broader landscape of appellate legal aid.
