The Maryland Appointed Attorney Invoice (For use on or before 01/04/2017) is an official form that must be completed and submitted to the Maryland Office of the Public Defender in order to receive payment for services provided on behalf of the state. The invoice is used to submit the amount of attorney fees requested for services provided to an accused or convicted person who has been appointed an attorney by the state. There are two types of Maryland Appointed Attorney Invoice (For use on or before 01/04/2017): the Flat Fee Invoice and the Hourly Invoice. The Flat Fee Invoice is used when the attorney charges a flat fee for the services provided and the Hourly Invoice is used when the attorney charges an hourly rate. Both invoices must include the attorney’s name, address, license number, contact information, the client’s name, case number, and the amount requested. The invoice must also include an itemized list of services provided and the date the services were provided. Once the invoice is completed and submitted, the Public Defender will review the invoice and the accompanying documentation and make a decision on whether to approve payment.
