The attorney engaged by the city to provide public defense services should not subcontract with another firm or attorney to provide representation and should remain directly involved in the provision of representation. If the contract is with a firm or office, the city should request the names and experience levels of those attorneys who will actually be providing the services, to ensure they meet minimum qualifications. The employment agreement shall address the procedures for continuing representation of clients upon the conclusion of the agreement. (Ord. 2668 § 9, 2007)
