Hello. I had a case dating back to 2007 and thought the case was over. Recently here in 2020 I found out that i had an active warrant for this same case. I reached out to the Bronx Defenders office and was represented by an attorney. Ms. Easter. She was and is very professional. Ms. Easter showed concern and was very helpful! In regards to my case that is now closed. I would recommend anyone to attorney, Ms. Easter at the Bronx Defenders office. Thank you. Viva R.

Anyone accused of a crime, faced with losing their kids, or threatened with eviction or deportation deserves strong representation, which is what organizations like the Bronx Defenders provide. The people I know who work at BxD are smart, compassionate, and fierce. The video mentioned in another review was created by community members and objected to cops killing Black people, which is really not the same thing as BxD coming out in favor of people killing cops.

This not for profit was recently involved in a video that promoted the killing of a NYC police officer. Shortly thereafter two cops were murdered.
