Different Legal Representation Criteria

Summary

In Missouri, the right to a public defender is generally linked to the potential for jail time rather than the charge itself. If the state seeks jail time for one defendant but not another, only the former may qualify for a public defender. This can result in different legal representation for individuals facing the same charge. If you have concerns about your eligibility for a public defender, consider consulting a local attorney for guidance.
