Manohar Raju is the San Francisco Public Defender and a founding member of Public Defenders for Racial Justice. A son of immigrants from India, his pursuit of justice is rooted in his acute awareness of the ramifications of social inequalities. Despite coming from a farming village, his parents managed to emigrate to America, where they raised Mano on the East Coast. Mr. Raju completed his undergraduate degree at Columbia University, and holds a Master’s degree in South Asian Studies from U.C. Berkeley, where he also earned his law degree. He worked as a Deputy Public Defender in Contra Costa County for seven years before he was recruited by Jeff Adachi to join the SF Public Defender’s felony unit in 2008. Due to his impressive practice as a felony line attorney, he was promoted to be the Director of Training and then Manager of the Felony Unit. Mr. Raju is deeply committed to a client-centered approach to defense work. “Our impact is not measured in numbers, but in the people we represent,” he said. “It’s by the mother who can return home to her family. The son who can continue to work to support his family. And to the children of those we defend, who benefit from having an equal opportunity to survive and who might one day use that opportunity to lead.” The personal interest he takes in his clients’ lives helps fuel him not only to fiercely litigate and win cases, but also to raise his voice against the inequities he and his clients encounter in the criminal justice system. It has earned him the loyalty of his entire Department and the confidence of Mayor London Breed, who appointed him to fill the post in March 2019. As Public Defender, Mano will continue to uphold the office’s reputation not only as a formidable group of lawyers, but also as a catalyst for criminal justice reform.

Michael Meehan, founder of The Meehan Law Firm, practices criminal defense in Encino, California. Before taking up defense work, he worked as a deputy sheriff and a deputy district attorney. His firm profile names Loyola Law School in Los Angeles as his law school and lists DUI, criminal law, domestic violence, violent crime and professional licensing among his practice areas. Much of Meehan’s description of his work concerns the gap between a client’s account and the police report. At the consultation, he asks about the events preceding police contact and arrest, as well as the client’s concerns. His review extends to the person’s life outside the arrest: how the charges might affect it and whether there are mitigating circumstances to present. He then examines police reports and other evidence against the allegations. Discussions with the prosecutor and judge are another part of that process. Meehan describes considering both sides’ views of the case when seeking a resolution, and discussing trial if agreement cannot be reached. He reports having conducted more than 100 jury trials. Within the firm, his work as owner includes attorney training and exchanges with colleagues about strategy in open cases. California’s State Bar lists him under his full name, Michael Taylor Meehan, with an active license and a December 3, 1995 admission date.
