Santa Barbara Defenders


Who are we?

The Santa Barbara Defenders is an association of private criminal defense practitioners. Our purpose and goals are:

  • To protect the rights guaranteed to individuals by the California and U.S. Constitutions;
  • To ensure that the Santa Barbara Superior Court’s is committed to upholding those rights;
  • To promote competent and ethical representation of persons accused of a crime.
