Appellate Defender Office, New Hampshire Public Defender (New Hampshire)

The New Hampshire Public Defender maintains a dedicated Appellate Defender Office that provides statewide appellate representation in the New Hampshire Supreme Court. This office directory page lists Stephanie Hausman as Chief Appellate Defender, with the office at 10 Ferry Street, Concord, NH 03301, phone 603-224-1236 or 800-464-0652, co-located with NHPD central administration and separate from the county trial offices also listed. The page states that the Public Defender represents only people found to be indigent based on their financial affidavits who are charged with crimes that carry the possibility of incarceration upon conviction, and lists other agencies for people who are not charged with a crime in a New Hampshire state court. The New Hampshire Public Defender is an independent non-profit corporation that provides the state's public defense under contract, so this .org site is the official appellate defender office.
