In total, there were 283 active legal licenses registered in cities in York County in September, compared to 280 in the previous month.
Within York County, Biddeford had the highest number of lawyers with active licenses during September (63).
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.
