Brooklyn Defenders is pleased to share our 2023 Annual Report which highlights our most recent outcomes and celebrates the people and organizations who continue to support and contribute to our work.

We are proud to have represented and provided zealous advocacy to over 23,000 individuals and their families across Brooklyn and New York State last year.

Our approach—to defend, advocate, and change—is made possible by our interdisciplinary team of over 500 highly skilled and experienced attorneys, social workers, investigators, paralegals, and administrative staff who work together to ensure the best possible outcomes for the people we serve.

You are also a crucial part of the Brooklyn Defenders team. Your support throughout 2023 furthered our work to uphold the rights, freedom, and dignity of people threatened by unjust legal systems.

We are grateful for your incredible partnership. As we progress into 2024, we hope to deepen our impact with you in our corner.
