In total, there were 285 active legal licenses registered in cities in York County in October 2023, compared to 279 in the previous month.
The highest number of licenses granted per city in York County during the month was in Biddeford, totaling two.
Up until recently, Maine was the only US state without any public defenders, relying solely on private attorneys to represent low-income defendants. In 2022, it hired five public defenders to cover these cases statewide, but officials acknowledged that this number falls short of meeting the current demands.
Justin Andrus, executive director of the Maine Commission on Indigent Legal Services, said the state cannot effectively rely on only five people to address systemic issues.
At the same time, the state was found to be struggling when representing clients requiring legal aid or who couldn't afford their own lawyers. A 2021 report revealed that more than one in eight assignments requiring specialized representation were given to ineligible attorneys.
To tackle the problem, Governor Janet Mills proposed allocating $17 million to hire ten more attorneys.
As of 2023, the average salary for a lawyer in Maine is around $101,226 per year.
Data refers to all lawyers who were actively practicing during this period.
