The Office of the Ohio Public Defender is the state agency responsible for providing legal representation and other services to those accused of a crime who cannot afford to hire their own attorney.
Ohio’s public defender system was created in 1976 by Chapter 120 of the Ohio Revised Code. Timothy Young is the Director of the Office of the Ohio Public Defender, which is overseen by the nine-member Ohio Public Defender Commission. The Office is divided into Death Penalty, Legal, Juvenile, and Administrative divisions, as well as the Trumbull County Branch Office and the Multi-County Program.
The Office of the Ohio Public Defender protects and defends the rights of indigent persons by providing and supporting superior representation in the criminal and juvenile justice systems.
