In Memory of Michael Hercules Wilfong
Michael Hercules Wilfong, “the Fong,” was a Clark County Public Defender for over 18 years. He represented those who were in most need and could least afford legal services. Tragically, he died by suicide due to the multiple pressures he was facing. Many of these pressures were related to his career as a public defender.
