Criminal Justice Act (CJA) Support Services

The MPM Group has long been judicially recognized as expert CJA Support Service Vendors. Unlike most of our competitors, MPM provides our clients with a staff of former Department of Justice (DoJ) Special Agents who have a demonstrated expertise in most, if not all, federal violations. This expertise also extends to Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA) and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) matters – as well as the collateral issues that usually accompany these types of cases. In fact, select MPM staff personnel maintain current Top Secret Clearances in order to facilitate their ability to assist Federal Public Defender (FPD) or CJA Panel attorneys with such matters.

“There can be no equal justice where the kind of trial a man gets
depends on the amount of money he has.”

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, Griffin v. Illinois, (1964)

Under the Criminal Justice Act (CJA), all persons charged with federal criminal offenses who are financially unable to obtain counsel are entitled to appointment of counsel to represent them. Under the Court’s Criminal Justice Act (CJA) Plan, the Office of the Federal Public Defender is appointed to represent approximately 70% of the financially eligible defendants. The remaining eligible defendants are represented by private CJA Panel Attorneys. These private attorneys are qualified by the respective Courts and its Criminal Justice Act Committee and admitted to panels of attorneys eligible for appointment in federal criminal cases. (See Title 18, U.S.C., § 3006A)
