Best Answer

Public defender salaries vary depending on a couple factors: First, the federal system generally pays much more than state systems do. Federal public defenders are usually paid at the same rate as

federal prosecutors. At the state levels, salaries vary by experience, by location, and in some states, even county by county. They are often comparable to

prosecutors, with starting salaries from the high 30Ks to low 50Ks. More experienced public defenders often make much more.
