Through the use of best practices, each participants is given the opportunity to change their lives and have their charges expunged. 

Graduates of Treatment Court are the statistically least likely people to commit a new crime. Many clients of the Public Defender's Office who graduate Treatment Court tell us that the program saved their lives and their families.
