CONTRATULATIONS to Justin Hill from Contra Costa County! Justin was selected from a list of applicants and awarded this recognition at the DIA Annual Conference at the Madonna Inn. He was nominated by a few of the attorneys in his office and some of the highlights from those nominations are his passion and his belief in the work of indigent defense. He has worked a myriad of homicide cases, is extremely committed, and a total team player. Justin shows how much he cares for, and truly respects, his clients. He exemplifies the very best of what it means to serve, to fight and to believe in justice! Pictured with Justin are DIA Board Members Alfonso Ochoa (Southern Board) and Kristy Leon (Northern Board)
