The Office of the Public Defender, which now is an "in but
not of" agency in the Treasury Department, is obligated to
seek reimbursement from clients through a billing and lien system.
It also imposes up-front administrative fees of $50 to newly assigned
clients who can afford the payment. The legislative measure establishing
the office states that whether the indigent defendant is to be
served by staff attorneys or trained pool counsel, the same level
of service must be rendered as if the attorneys were privately
retained.
