A defense attorney is a practitioner in a court of law who is legally qualified to defend criminal actions. There are primarily two different types of defense attorneys:
* Private-practice attorney: An attorney that has set up their own practice accepting clients or works for a law firm
* Assigned counsel: A private-practice attorney who is appointed by the courts to represent defendants that are indigent (aka unable to afford an attorney). Ex. 18-B Panel Attorneys
* Public defender: An attorney appointed by the courts and provided by the state or federal governments to represent people cannot afford to hire a private-practice attorney. Public defenders are full time attorneys employed by their respective governments. Examples of groups that provide this service are the Lega

- In 128 AG, an underground malefactor named Yakone was tried for his criminal acts upon Republic City and its citizens. The defense attorney was present during the trial as Yakone's legal representative, where he urged the Council to acquit his client from all charges considering that the crime he supposedly committed was not possible to perpetrate.

| - In 128 AG, an underground malefactor named Yakone was tried for his criminal acts upon Republic City and its citizens. The defense attorney was present during the trial as Yakone's legal representative, where he urged the Council to acquit his client from all charges considering that the crime he supposedly committed was not possible to perpetrate. Despite the attorney's efforts, Chairman Sokka delivered the verdict of the Council that, although it was common belief that bloodbending could only be performed under a full moon, Yakone was one of a few "unique benders" and had used his outlawed ability to commit crimes in Republic City without the presence of a full moon. He was found guilty of all charges and sentenced to life in prison. Outraged at the loss of the trial, the defense attorney crumpled a piece of paper and threw it on the ground. However, before Yakone could be detained, the criminal demonstrated his bloodbending prowess by subduing every person in the courtroom, including the defense attorney. The attorney was knocked unconscious by Yakone, along with all of the other individuals present at the trial, shortly before the criminal fled the courtroom.
