Robertson County, TN Public Defender’s Office
Description
The Robertson County Public Defender's Office is located in Springfield, TN. With Public Defenders and other support staff, this office provides legal representation to defendants that are financially unable to retain an attorney without substantial hardship in the Robertson County. An individual must apply for a public defender by completing a detailed financial statement and agreeing to provide documentation concerning income, assets and debts for the person and the person's spouse if any. This information is generally provided to a court employee who reviews the financial information and recommends to the judge whether or not the person is eligible for government-paid counsel. Individuals determined to be eligible for court-appointed counsel do not have the right to choose who their attorney will be. However, they do have the right to have competent legal representation.
