Who to call in Monroe County: where to find inmate, visitation, and attorney contact information

For inmate lookup and visitation info, head to the "Jail Roster & Visitation" section on the official Monroe County website. Need to reach an attorney? The Monroe County Public Defender's Office external telephone and e-mail directory - also on the county site - lists specific staff contacts and is the fastest way to find the right person.

The county website has a "Jail Roster & Visitation" section. This is your best starting point when you need to confirm someone is in custody or find official visitation links - it's the public-facing hub for all roster and visitation information.

Trying to reach the Public Defender's Office or a specific attorney there? Use the Monroe County Public Defender's Office external telephone & e-mail directory. It lists individual staff members and their contact info in one place - way faster than calling a general number and hoping you get transferred to the right person.

• ✓ The directory includes individual entries with a name, a Monroe County e-mail address, and a phone number (example: Nadia Abdallah - nadiaabdallah@monroecounty.gov - 753-4945).
• ✓ Another example entry is Savannah Kieper - savannahkieper@monroecounty.gov - 753-4313.
• ✓ The file itself shows a “Last Updated” date of November 24, 2025, which helps you gauge how current the contact list is.

1. Start with the “Jail Roster & Visitation” section - if you’re looking for Monroe County roster or visitation links, that’s the official place the county points the public to.
2. Check the Public Defender external directory - if you’re trying to reach an attorney or staff member, use the Public Defender telephone & e-mail directory and make sure you’re looking at the copy that shows it was last updated on November 24, 2025.
3. Get your details together before you call or email - have the person’s full name and any identifying details you have (for example, date of birth or a case number) so you can be clear and specific when you reach someone.

Not every issue tied to a loved one's incarceration is a criminal matter. For civil legal needs, the Legal Aid Society of Rochester provides direct civil legal services, including lay advocacy and related human services, to adults and children. If you're dealing with a civil issue, reaching out to them may be a better fit than a criminal-defense contact list.
