What's Here

Providing organization

NH PUBLIC DEFENDER
If you are charged with a crime in New Hampshire by New Hampshire authorities and the potential punishment includes jail or imprisonment, then you may be entitled to the appointment of a New Hampshire attorney to represent you. More specifically, if you are charged with a Class A Misdemeanor or any Felony under New Hampshire law, then you may be entitled to appointed counsel. If the police gave you a piece of paper entitled a "complaint" or if you received an "information" or an "indictment," you can determine whether you are charged with a Class A Misdemeanor or a Felony by reviewing that document.
