Lancaster County Public Defender

From the Educate yourself: 2022 General Election Voter's Guide series
  • Oct 18, 2022
  • Oct 18, 2022
  • 0

Democrat Kristi Egger of Lincoln, a longtime attorney in the public defender's office, defeated her former boss, incumbent Joe Nigro in the primary. She faces Republican Trevin Preble of Lincoln.

Lancaster County public defender

Lancaster County has had a public defender's office to represent those accused of criminal cases who can't afford a private attorney where the state is seeking a jail sentence since 1979.

In addition to the public defender, the office employs 23 attorneys, a social worker, six paralegals, two investigators and a handful of support staff.
