The Client Services Division provides our clients with 360 degrees of support beginning immediately after arrest. Social Workers and Client Advocates identify and address the collateral issues contributing to system interaction by connecting clients to community and social services, treatment programs, education and job training, housing and more.

They also work closely with the defense team to recommend alternatives to incarceration, create mitigation defense, as well as advocate for client safety and medical attention while in jail, language access, re-entry planning, and eligibility for specialty courts.

The Client Services Division works to offer comprehensive solutions to the social, psychological and human needs of our clients to reduce recidivism and increase the health and safety of our clients and community. Client advocacy is central to all we do.
