The Maryland Application for Appointed Attorney at Initial Appearance is an application for legal representation at an initial court appearance. This is a document that is used in the Maryland court system and is completed by an individual who cannot afford to hire their own attorney. The application must be signed by the person applying and their witnesses. Depending on the type of case, the application may be accepted by the court or sent to the Public Defender’s Office for review. There are three types of Maryland Application for Appointed Attorney at Initial Appearance: 1. Misdemeanor Application: This application is used for misdemeanor charges, such as driving without a license or minor assault. 2. Felony Application: This application is used for felony charges, such as assault with a deadly weapon or burglary. 3.

All three applications require the applicant to provide information such as their name, address, date of birth, income, and other financial information.
