Heavy caseloads, insufficient office time, no time for personal life - Deputy Public Defender Stanislaus County Health Services Agency Employee Review

Heavy caseload, in court most of the day, insufficient office time to work cases so expect to regularly work at home evenings and weekends. No time for a personal life. High turnover, difficult for them to recruit & retain experienced attorneys so the experienced attorneys get dumped on. High stress job. 20+ attorneys quit in past 3 years. Plan on stress meds if you work here.
