Isabella Robertson Is Bonner County's Chief Public Defender

SANDPOINT - In the lobby of the Bonner County Public Defender's office hangs a poem by Helen Keller. It reads: "I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do."

At the back of the building, down hallways that jog and intersect as they pass a series of closely spaced doorways, sits the office of Izzy Robertson.
