Question:
Answer:
Well, public defenders make the same or less than prosecutors, depending on the state. Starting salaries vary across states, but usually range between $32,000 to $40,000. Private counsel tend to make more money, and big shot lawyers can start out around $100,000, to give you an idea of how low the pay for public defenders is in comparison to other attorneys...
Do you mean a criminal defense attorney? That depends on if you go into public or private practice. The salary range is quite wide between those two careers.
