The lead attorney from the state’s first five public defenders abruptly resigned, forcing the director of the Maine Commission<\/a> on Indigent Legal Services to take on the role.<\/p>\n

The Maine Commission on Indigent Legal Services held an emergency meeting Wednesday in which Executive Director Justin Andrus took on the lead attorney’s duties for up to six months.<\/p>\n

Seth Levy’s resignation late last week came the state tries to get a public defender office up and running.<\/p>\n

Andrus declined to comment on the reason for Levy’s resignation, but he said the staff remains enthusiastic. “We think it\u2019s terrific we have this opportunity, and it\u2019s going very, very well from a client services perspective despite challenges,” he told Maine Public.<\/p>\n

Maine, which has been criticized for shortcomings in providing legal representation for low-income Mainers, was the only state in the country without a public defender’s office until the five public defenders were hired last month. Gov. Janet Mills\u2019 proposed budget includes funding for 10 more public defenders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
