<section class="mb-4"> <p>Every defendant charged with an indictable (felony) offense in New Jersey is entitled to be represented by an attorney, whether or not he or she can afford one.  For anyone who feels that he or she cannot afford an attorney, the court has a process to determine whether a public defender can be appointed to represent him or her.  Contrary to popular belief, the New Jersey Office of the Public Defender (NJOPD) does not decide which applicants will be accepted for representation.  That decision is made by the courts, based on the information provided by applicants.</p> <p>The court will provide a Uniform Defendant Intake, or "5A Form," which is the application for representation by a public defender.  This form asks for information about a defendant's residence, criminal history, employment history and financial status.  It seeks to weigh the defendant's income and assets against his or her expenses and debts to determine if the defendant meets the indigency standards to qualify for a public defender.  The defendant will also be asked if he or she requires an interpreter and, if so, for what language.</p> <p>Once the court has decided that a defendant qualifies for a public defender, the case is referred to the NJOPD regional office in the county in which the case is to be heard. For a list of those regional offices, <a href="/defender/about/regional-offices/" mce_href="/defender/structure/regions/index.shtml">click here</a>, The Deputy Public Defender in charge of that regional office will then assign an attorney to handle the case.</p> <p>The NJOPD is committed to providing the highest quality of legal representation to all clients assigned to the agency by the courts. This representation will be given regardless of an individual's present ability to pay for representation. </p> <p>Individuals may also seek representation in the following case types:</p> <ul> <li>Family Court Juvenile Delinquency cases (parents are financially responsible)</li> <li>Recovery Court cases</li> <li>Intensive Supervision Program cases</li> <li>Special Hearing Unit cases</li> <li>Family Court Title 9 Child Abuse and Neglect cases</li> <li>Family Court Title 30 Termination of Parental Rights cases</li> </ul> <p>Individuals may also seek representation in the following case types:</p> <ul> <li>Children who are the subject of Title 9 and Title 30 litigation</li> <li>Individuals seeking to appeal trial results </li> </ul> </section>  <section class="mb-2"> <div id='section_0' class=''> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div> </main> <footer> <div class="footer site-footer" > <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row x-no-gutters justify-content-center"> <div class="col-lg-9 col-xl-8"> <h3><span href="/defender/">Office of the Public Defender</span></h3> <div class="columned"> <ul> <li> <h4><a href="/defender/">Home</a></h4> </li> </ul> <ul> <li> <h4>About OPD</h4> <ul class="d-none d-md-flex"> <li><a href="/defender/about/structure">Structure</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/about/leadership">Leadership</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/about/administration">Administration</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/about/history">History</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/about/employment">Join Our Team</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/about/internships">Internships</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/about/training">Training</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/about/regional-offices">All Regional Offices</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/about/contact">Contact OPD</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/about/follow">Follow Us</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li> <h4>Services</h4> <ul class="d-none d-md-flex"> <li><a href="/defender/services/criminal-defense">Criminal Defense (Trial)</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/services/olg">Office of Law Guardian</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/services/opr">Office of Parental Representation</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/services/appellate">Appellate</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/services/mha">Division of Mental Health Advocacy</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/services/rcu">Recovery Court Unit</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/services/isp">Intensive Supervision Program (ISP) Unit</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/services/ciu">Conviction Integrity Unit</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/services/slu">Special Litigation Unit</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/services/prdu">Parole Revocation Defense Unit (PRDU)</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/services/immigration">Immigration</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li> <h4>Clients</h4> <ul class="d-none d-md-flex"> <li><a href="/defender/clients/overview">Clients Overview</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/clients/apply">Apply for a Public Defender</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li> <h4>Third Party Contracted Services</h4> <ul class="d-none d-md-flex"> <li><a href="/defender/third-party/pool">Pool Attorney Information</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/third-party/experts">Experts Information</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/third-party/vendor">Vendor Contract Compliance</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/third-party/expert-process">Process to Become an Approved OPD Expert</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/third-party/ancillary">Ancillary Services</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li> <h4>Media</h4> <ul class="d-none d-md-flex"> <li><a href="/defender/media/press">Press Releases</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/media/news">News</a></li> <li><a href="/defender/media/events">Events</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li> <h4><a href="/defender/eodi-eeo">Equal Opportunity Diversity & Inclusion/EEO Policy</a></h4> </li> </ul> <ul> <li> <h4><a href="/defender/faqs">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)</a></h4> </li> </ul>  </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-3 col-xl-2"> <h3>Statewide</h3> <ul class="statewide d-inline-block float-left mr-1 mr-sm-5 mr-lg-0"> <li class=""><a href="//nj.gov/governor/admin/about/">Governor Phil Murphy</a></li> <li class=""><a href="//nj.gov/governor/admin/lt/">Lt.
