The San Bernardino County Office of Public Defender was established in 1959 to provide legal counsel and defense services for persons accused of felonies at the Superior Court level who could not afford to employ private attorneys. Christopher Gardner was appointed to serve as the current Public Defender in January 2018, leading the department of over 270 staff who handle over 55,000 cases annually.
