Provide Legal Representation
You are invited to submit a proposal for the purpose of providing legal representation for indigent criminal defendants in the County. While the Public Defender provides legal representation for criminal defendants in the County, additional defense counsel is necessary to provide legal representation when a conflict arises or in multiple defendant cases. The County is seeking an attorney to represent criminal defendants where a "first conflict" arises.
The attorney selected shall agree to accept representation in connection with police identification and/or pre-statement counseling and all cases assigned by the court including murder cases. Murder cases will be limited to a maximum of two (2) new cases per contract year and will be handled through completion. Legal representation for all cases will terminate when the indigent defendant is sentenced in his/her criminal case.
