I've had a couple of really good experiences with the staff at the Ventura County Public Defender's Office. I think the secret to dealing with them is to be professional, respectful and efficient. They've only ever reciprocated. And be mindful of their time, they have a huge workload and don't typically have a lot of spare time. But yea, I've only benefited from the help of the Public Defenders in this County.

They really could do more to help those who can’t help themselves
