Voter League Sets Two Hot Topic Events

(Press Release) (West Palm Beach, FL – May 29, 2025) The League of Women Voters of Palm Beach County (LWVPBC) is inviting interested members and supporters to two upcoming information-packed Hot Topic events, one an in-person luncheon and the other a FREE online discussion.
 
Wednesday, June 25 / 11 am to 1 pm
Meet Palm Beach County’s New Public Defender
With Daniel Eisinger
Luncheon at Fountains Country Club in Lake Worth
 

---

​Homegrown Public Defender Daniel Eisinger earned his B.A. and J.D. from the University of Florida and began his career in the Public Defender office in 2003 and was elected Palm Beach County’s Public Defender last November. The office represents indigent clients who do not have the ability to afford a private attorney, and Eisinger has been directly involved in misdemeanor, felony, and major crime cases — including capital cases in which the state was seeking the death penalty. In addition, he has been instrumental in establishing court programs to better serve clients and the community — the Misdemeanor Mental Health Court to connect low-level offenders suffering from mental illness with mental health professionals and the Driving Under Suspension Court. These courts have resulted in making our communities safer while benefiting clients at the same time.
