Catt County Public Defender Needs Help
Cattaraugus County Public Defender Mark Williams says his staff is nearing a crisis and will not be able to handle many more cases without additional help.
In his annual report to the county Legislature, Williams says that there’s been a 60 percent increase in cases since 2004.
The office has 5 attorneys, an investigator, two legal secretaries and a receptionist. The size of the staff has remained the same while the case load has increased.
