    Misdemeanor Defense Project

    What is The Misdemeanor Defense Project?


    The Misdemeanor Defense Project is a public service program designed to provide legal advice and direction to persons appearing in Misdemeanor court. To speak with a volunteer attorney, you must not be eligible for a Public Defender. The primary role of MDP attorneys is to ensure that defendants understand their charges, the court process and their legal options; however, you may be given the option to hire the attorney.


    Call a referral counselor at (612) 752-6699 to see if a volunteer attorney is scheduled to be at the courthouse on the day of your initial hearing.
