Santa Barbara Public Defender

Trevor Kosmo has done an outstanding job of defending me and dismissing my case. Thank you, Trevor!

Thank you for your collaborative work with programs. Much appreciated.

Mr. Mathis, I hope you take the time to read this because I am filing a formal complaint against you and the Santa Barbara Public Defender's Office. Back in 2019/2020, you failed to take my case seriously. You claimed there was evidence that I had shown up at the victim's workplace and home. I denied those allegations and specifically requested video surveillance from the victim’s home to prove she was lying. Despite this, you seemed completely uninterested in helping me. Months were wasted, and ultimately, I was pressured into pleading guilty to the charges. Now, in 2024/2025, I have come to learn that the victim was an intern at the Public Defender's Office during that time. This, to me, is a clear conflict of interest. I am left to wonder: how much influence did she have on the handlin
