Who provides legal services to those who find it difficult to pay for legal representation?
The state or federal government provides legal representation for indigent persons accused of committing crimes.This can be accomplished either through a public defender's office, where the chief defender is elected or appointed and employs a staff of full time attorneys and other staff persons, much like a district attorney's office. Otherwise, it is an appointed system, where privately employed attorneys are appointed by a court. Typically, those attorneys then bill the state for their services.Added: At this time, there is no government supplied legal aid for indigent representation in civil cases.

The public defender is an attorney, but one who is paid by the state or the county. A public defender may be appointed not only in a criminal case, but also in a juvenile, mental health or dependency case.

In Texas there is free and low cost civil legal assistance available through TexasLawHelp.org.

Who payes the public defender in Ohio?
Public defenders in Ohio are paid by the state and local government. In counties with a state public defender, they are paid directly by the state Office of the Public Defender. In counties with a county public defender or appointed counsel, they are paid by the county which is then reimbursed by the state office. However, the defendant may have to pay some of the cost. There is a $25 application fee, which is paid to the court but may be waived by the court if the defendant has no money at all. There is also a "contribution" fee that is based on what you can afford according to the financial information you submit with your application; this is paid directly to the public defender's office. The details are explained in the related links below. On the state Office of the Public Defender page, see the menu items for Reimbursement and OPD Resources at the top of the page. The sections of the Ohio Revised Code are the legal basis, and you can scroll to "Prev" and "Next" sections of the Code to see more of the law. The Ohio Courts Guide link is where I found the other links, and it has an additional to link to the Erie County Public Defender's Office if you want a local example.

I found this at the second related link below, which also has links to information about criminal procedure (see the Self Help and Legal Research category) and other public defender offices (see the Legal Aid and Lawyer Referral category).
