In criminal cases, every defendant is entitled to legal representation. When a person cannot afford an attorney, a PUBLIC DEFENDER is appointed to represent him or her. The court determines whether a defendant qualifies for free legal representation, and the attorney fees are paid by the court out of funds that are ultimately provided by the taxpayers. The amount of those fees are set by the court, not the attorney, and average about $55 per hour or $350 per misdemeanor case (depending on the area of the country).
