In this interview, we take a good look at what a career might look like as a public defender. Our guest, Chrishna Martinez, has been working as a public defender for 20 years! We talk about things like how often she spends going to court, the types of clients and cases she is involved in, the misconceptions people typically have about what it’s like to work as public defender, and how to balance your home life with the tough and complex situations that public defenders typically deal with each day.
