Public Defender
The Office of the Public Defender (OPD) in Maryland provides comprehensive legal representation for individuals facing criminal charges, including felonies, misdemeanors, and juvenile delinquency cases. With district offices in each county and Baltimore City, OPD handles all stages of defense, from arraignments to sentencing.
Committed to diversity and inclusion, OPD employs a range of professionals, including attorneys, social workers, and investigators, to support its mission of ensuring justice for those who cannot afford legal representation. The organization also actively engages in community outreach and advocacy efforts to promote understanding of legal rights and resources available to the public.
