From agency: Maryland Office of the Public Defender
Resource Details
Description LEGAL REPRESENTATION: Provides legal representation to income eligible individuals who have been arrested or summoned for a jailable offense. 

-Incarcerated Client: Incarcerated clients first go through the diagnostic center at the Detention Center. After they have been classified by the area of incarceration, they are interviewed to see if they are eligible for a public defender.
 
-Client Services Division- The Public Defender refers clients who may need extra advocacy during the trial to this division. The client may have mitigating circumstances, such as a history of substance abuse, mental illness or HIV, which would suggest the need for an alternative to incarceration. The client is evaluated and, if eligible, is returned to the courtroom with an advocate and expert witnesses.
