BASIC OBJECTIVES

Advocate for and Represent
Victims of Injustice.

The primary objective of Defenders is to advocate for and represent victims of injustice perpetrated by unscrupulous individuals or groups within the National Capital Region. These wrongdoers, often wielding power, wealth, and influence, by virtue of their status in society and position of authority, willfully ignore or manipulate the rule of law and the justice system to further their self-serving interests without facing consequences
