Recommendations of Consultant
For Public Defender and Deputies
County Attorney Deputies
Scope of Agreement for Consulting Services to
Evaluate and Assess Public Defender's Office
The purpose of this agreement is to provide recommendations including but not limited to those related
to staffing requirements(both attorneys and support staff),recruitment of new personnel,
compensation structure,whether staff should be full or part time,general operations of the office and
processing of caseloads,to improve the administration,efficiency,and effectiveness of the office.
BACKGROUND
The Adams County Puolic Defender's office is presently in a crisis mode as tflere are presently no
attorneys employed in the office. The last attorney recently took a position in the Hall County Public
Defender's Office at a much higher salary. Remaining in the office is the Office Manager and one other
temporary employee. The current staffing authorization is a Public Defender,four deputies plus support
staff of an office manager,three full-time and one part-time employee. The crisis has developed over a
period of time as it has been extremely difficult to recruit and retain attorneys and support staff. My
investigation reveals that recruiting attorneys has failed primarily due to the noncompetitive salary and
compensation offered by Adams County and substandard office space. The physical working space
provided is totally physically inadequate and mentally depressing. in addition,Adams County's payment
of new hires is unfair and antiquated. This report will address salary and compensation,recruitment,
and replacing the location and atmosphere of the current working facility. ;will also address
compensation to Deputies and staff in the County Attorney's Office as set out in the consultant contract.
The County Attorney's office is also understaffed due to the compensation issues. I will also address the
issue of whether the Public Defender's office should remain part time or transition to full time and
remain an elected position. This report will also include recommendations on changing the Adams
County's payment period and possible incentives to aid in recruitment.

RECOMMENDATION
1 pull-or Part Time-Adams County should change from a part time Public Defender to a full-time
position with no private practice permitted. Every person interviewed agreed that the position
should be full-tune. It was the consensus opinion that allowing a part time private practice
compromises the ability to give the position the full attention it deserves. The Public Defender
snould net be torn between private practice and Public Defender duties. in addition there is no
way for the County to monitor or measure how touch time the Public Defender is spending on
each position. As wit be addressed in the compensation area the County wit have to
substantially raise the salary if the position goes full time
2. Elected or Appointed-In taking to Public Defenders they were very clear that they would take
their chances witn the electorate over an appointed position. The appointed Public Defender has
oversight from a three-person policy board which would continually monitor their performance.
(See R.R S.iseb.§23-3405 Attachment A-Public Defender);that situation is not attractive to
perspective Public defenders
I Salaries for Public Defender and Deputies-Before I recommend a salary structure the County
Board needs some background as to the present situation in the in-Cities area as to the
competition for Public Defender attorneys,recruiting and the present going rate necessary to hire
Deputies. This situation also applies to the Adams County Attorney's Office which is short three
deputies again primarily because of compensation issues.
The first major part to understand is that the competitors for Adams County are Hall and Buffalo
Counties.Lawyers who want to live In the Tri-cities area inquire about salaries usually in all three cities.
My first inclination was to get comparative salaries from Columbus,Norfolk,and Fremont but upon
further investigation found out they are riot Adam County's competition There is no need to look
beyond Hail and Buffalo counties in determining how to recruit,hire and retain attorneys. In addition,
the County Board has to understand that Public Defenders Offices throughout the state nave similar
problems in recruiting attorneys. You have to get the right fit for your area. The week before I
interviewed the Hail County Public Defender,he told me he had been at a meeting with Douglas County,
Sarpy County and Lancaster County Public Defenders the prior week. Hall county and those three
counties are the largest offices in the state. They too have some problems recruiting. None have the
magnitude of airing problems of Adams County. The two law schools are in Lincoln and Omaha. That is
one reason they have fewer problems recruiting.The majority of graduates want to stay in Lincoln or
Omaha.Both the Adams County Attorney and Public Defender have interviewed graduates of both
schools. They receive interest until the subject of salary comes up. There are also instances where the
law graduate wants to take the job,but the spouse does not want to live in the Tri City Area. In
recruiting, the new Public Defender has to sell the benefits of practicing here. You also must understand
the motivation and mentality of young lawyers who want to go into cnmmal defense work. They are the
most idealistic attorneys out there and are motivated to represent indigent people who have nowhere
else to turn to for help. They believe in the constitution and human rights no matter your social status.
206 ' Page
You also must understand they represent unpopular and difficult people,many with mental health,drug,
and alcohol addictions. The public's perception is that they are just representing criminals. to contrast
Deputy County Attorneys who are also very dedicated,are perceived as the attorneys wearing white hats
and getting criminals off the streets. To attract the young Public Defender Attorneys,you need to show
them respect and support. Their ob can be very depressing. You show them respect by paying them
the going rate in the area,providing a clean,bright atmosphere to work in and paying them promptly.
This is where Adams County has failed and why the County is in the position of no Public Defender
attorneys at the present time. Adams County is not competitive with Hall and Buffalo Counties in three
major areas. They are salary,working conditions and payroll payment method, I heard this comment
from several in the past and present Public Defenders Office,staff and attorneys"that they do not feel
they are supported by the County Board".
Adams County has to match the salaries for new Deputy Public Defenders and Deputy County Attorneys
in Hall and Buffalo Counties,or the problem persists. Hall County's most recent hire of a Deputy Public
Defender was$78,000.00.per year. That hire was the last attorney out of Adams County Public
Defender's office. That was a raise from her Adams County salary of$67,540.00. I next contacted the
Buffalo County Public Defender's office and they had just hired an attorney fresh out of law school with
no experience for 578,000.00. I was told with that hire they had filled their authoreed attorneys. As on
aside when I was retiring in November of 2021 one of the bright Deputy County Attorney's in Ms.Daiss'
office accepted a job in the Buffalo County Attorney's office. I asked him why he was leaving,and ne said
it was because he was getting a$10,000.00 a year raise for doing the same job in Buffalo County.
As to the Public Defender's salary here are the numbers for Buffalo and Hall Counties:
Hall County Public Defender-$108,000.00
Buffalo County Public Defender-599,986.00
Recommended Salaries for Public Defender and Deputies for Adams County
Public Defender-Salary range depending on experience and qualifications
Beginning 2025-$100,000.00 to$120,000.00
The present salary as set by the Adams County Board for 2023 is$74,486.94,2024 is$75,600.00.These
salaries are 3.time as tnat was the agreement with Shan Lieske(Attachment B). No one,s going to take
the job at$76,600.00. The County Board should seek a legal opinion from the County Attorney as to
whether more can be paid through salary and a hiring bonus until the County Board sets salaries for the
4 years after 2024.
The Adams County Attorney salary is set through 2026 as follows(Attachment Cl;
2023-$102,556.06
2024-$108,709.42
2025-$115,231.99
2026-$122,145.19
Typically,County Attorneys make more than Public Defenders. I was advised by the Hall County Public
Defender that Hat,Sarpy,and Lancaster Counties are the only ones in the State where they make the
same salary.
Recommended Deputy Starting Salaries for Adams County(No Experience)
Deputy Public Defender-$73,000.00-$80,000.00
Deputy County Attorney-$73,000.40-$80,000.00
Attorneys With Prior Experience
A. Devise a step plan like Hall County for Deputies where Deputy County Attorneys and Public
Defenders are paid on the same step plan. (I have attached a copy of Hall County's step plan for
Deputy County Attorneys and Public Defenders.i
B. Give the existing Deputy County Attorneys a raise based on years of service and a new step plan.
i would defer to Ms.Daiss as to appropriate raises for her present deputies. Ms.Daiss needs to
provide the remaining deputies with incentives to stay.
C, I also recommend if the Public Defender or County Attorney can here a Bilingual attorney you give
them a hirng bonus or yearly retention bonus A bilingual attorney will save the county money
on interpreter fees.
Staff
Office Manager with Paralegal Degree-$28.00 per hour to start. Raise the starting wage for Secretaries
and support Staff Office Manager-County Attorney/Public Defender-Salary range as suggested by office
holder-They do not have to be equal. It depends on qualifications and experience.
4. Present Public Defender's Office-I strongly recommend that the County Board move the Public
Defender's office from its present location. I understand the County has space in the Adams
County Office Building where there are windows. Some reasonable remodeling would be a
tremendous upgrade. I urge the Board to compare the County Attorney's office to the Public
Defenders.Visit both locations and see where you would want to work. i can absolutely assure
the Board that young lawyers do not want to work In the Public Defender's present
environment. Convert that space to storage because I strongly suspect it+s full of mold and it
207 ' Page
has a long list of problem areas. People should not have to work in that dungeon environment.
The young professional lawyers will not work there, The present location is a basement with the
following problems:
1. The entire set of offices has two small windows located in one office,thus
there is very little natural light.
2. The building is depressing. To enter the Public Defender's office,you have to
go down steps to the basement via steps or a walkway- Even the walkway
would be a challenge for a disabled person in a wheelchair. Once you enter
the Public Defender's area you must talk to the staff through a window. The
outer vestibule area is not heated.
3. In the winter the offices are described as freezing. if the attorneys and staff
use three or more floor or space heaters the fuses blow. The staff has no
control over the thermostat.
4. The office area smells especially after rain.
5- There are issues in the area that are not addressed by maintenance on a
timely basis.
6. There is only one exit. This is a security Issue when the office must go into
lockdown.
7. The bathrooms are substandard and bathroom stalls are not wheelchair
assessable. The men's urinal overflows on a regular basis.
8. The overall electrical system is bad;running the microwave can blow a fuse.
9. There are security issues,namely one way out and a slow law enforcement
response when panic buttons are pushed.
10. In the spring and summer,the offices are invaded by ants.
11. The staff and attorneys have on more than one occasion had to remove
snakes from the office.
12. Maintenance has had to replace wall board due to mold.
13. The office must share space with the Election Office which has full access to
the Public Defender's space,which is an issue of confidentiality.
The office is referred to as the'Dungeon"by staff and attorneys. The consensus of prior attorneys,staff
and remaining staff is to just give them office space commensurate with the County Attorney's office
with windows and a place where a good working environment can be created.
5. Payment Period-I confirmed that Adams County has a completely antiquated and unfair
procedure for paying new hires. This was a common complaint. if.a new employee is hired after
the 10`'of the month,they do not receive their first paycheck until the last day of the following
month. So,for example,a person hired on May 11'h does not get a paycheck until June 30,a
period of 50 days. Consider a new attorney fresh out of law school. Re or she will have to rent
an apartment,pay a damage deposit,pay a utility deposit,pay their living expenses,and provide
for themselves for almost two months. Most law school graduates come out of law school with
seven years of post-high school education and significant student loans. This means student
debt for someone admitted to the Nebraska Bar between 2 and 5 years is$153,498.00 and
$98,444.00 for all attorneys(See Attachment E(.Because of Adams County's new hire payment
policy one past Public Defender gave a new hire a personal loan to live on until he got his first
paycheck. It is not the Public Defender's responsibility to fund new Adams County hires. Buffalo
and Hall County pay twice a month regardless of hire date. I strongly recommend Adams County
change this poiicy. The present policy is unfair and hinders recruiting.
6. Other Considerations-Duties of Public Defender Affecting Salary and Savings for the County-
By Statute the Public Defender has the following required duties pursuant to N.R.S.23-3402.
(See Attachment A-Article 34 Public Defender)
1. Represent indigent felony defendants.
2. Represent indigent persons against whom a petition has been filed with the
Mental Health Board.
3. Represent indigent person charged with a misdemeanor or offense
punishable by imprisonment.
Public Defenders are not required to represent indigent persons in Juvenile matters.Public Defenders are
not required to represent indigent persons regarding child support enforcement. In the past Adams
County Public Defenders have provided a great service and savings to Adams County by representing
Juveniles and Child Support l-nforcement Clients which saves money on court appointed fees. In
checking with Hall and Buffalo Counties they handle those areas as follows:
Hall County
Handles Juvenile matters as a separate division in the Public Defender's office.
Do not handle Child Support Enforcement
Buffalo County
Do not handle Juvenile matters
Handles Child Support Enforcement
208 IPage
My recommendation would be to attempt to get the new Public Defender to handle both of these non-
required services. It will save a great amount of money on court appointed attorneys. Effective July 1,
2023,the court-appointed rate goes up to$115.00 per hour. If the Public Defender handles the non-
required areas,i believe you continue to authorize four deputies and start by filling the Public Defender
position plus 3 deputies as soon as possible. if they are unable to do all the work with three fund the
fourth position without hesitation. Having Public Defenders handle these areas will save the County a
substantial amount of money. Even though the court appointed fees are going up several attorneys have
said they will not accept court appointments. One attorney told me he had run the numbers on a
system called PracticeMaster. Because of law office overhead an attorney can make a little but not a lot
taking court appointments.Without question attorneys make more money on their private practice
clients.The$95 per hour was set in 1993 but that rate due to inflation should be$150 in 2022. As stated
above the new rate is$115.00.
7. Other Possible Benefits to Aid Recruitment-I have investigated other possible benefits the
County could consider, and they include the following:
Hiring and Retention,Bonuses-The Hastings City Council on Monday,June 12,2023,voted 6-1 to
approve hiring bonuses ranging from$2,000.00 for a new dispatch hire with no experience to
$7,500.00 for a certified police officer arid retention bonuses ranging from$3,000.00 to
$6,000.00 would be paid to all current dispatchers and sworn officers.
(Attachment F-Hastings Tnbune June 13,2023)
Moving Expense-Some Public Defenders have been authorized by their County Boards to offer
some moving expense reimbursement to further entice a lawyer to move,but this is not
commonly offered.
Student Loan Replacement Assistance-The Nebraska State Bar Association Economic Survey was
recently published,and I have attached relevant pages as it applies to Public Defenders and
County Attorneys. The number one benefit young attorneys wish their new employer would
provide is student loan repayment assistance(Attachment E). tuition and the cost of attending
law school has risen substantially.The County could give a year-end bonus at the completion of
each year that the attorney stays employed with Adams County up to a cap of a certain amount.
8. Recruiting-The County Attorney and Public Defender have recruited at the two law schools in
Nebraska namely UNL and Creighton. The County Attorney has expanded her recruitment to
South Dakota. I think the Public Defender and County Attorney should be authorized to expand
that to Denver University,University of Wyoming,and the law schools in Kansas and Iowa. My
last Court Reporter I recruited from Kansas City. She is a Nebraska native and wanted to get back
home. There are lawyers out there who would want to get Home. If they are experienced in
Criminal Law,the pay must be higher than the inexperienced lawyer. In addition,the Hall County
Public Defender has recently hired two deputies by going nationwide on Indeed. He said they
both wanted to get back to Nebraska. The bottom line is I think both offices need a budget line
with an amount set aside for recruiting.
CONCLUSION
Historically in Nebraska many Counties set up Public.Defenders offices to save money for the taxpayers.
That has uniformly been achieved and counties save money. It is in the best interests of Adams County
taxpayers to have a fully staffed Public Defender's office to provide this much needed service. Although
the current situation is not good it is not impossible to remedy. As set out in these recommendations
Adams County can eventually get back to full staffing within two to three years. It is a credit to the
management style of Donna Fegler Daiss that her office does not have the same dire predicament but,
she also needs salary and compensation raises to get her office back to full staff. The following changes
need to be implemented immediately.
COMPENSATION
Both offices need to have significant raises to the recommended salaries set out in this report, The
current step plan is outdated and needs to be revised so the Adams County Public Defender and County
Attorney can be competitive in hiring lawyers. In the new step plan the existing Deputy County
Attorneys should receive significant raises and the salary for new deputies with no experience should be
at least$78,000.00;authorize the County Attorney and Public Defender to go as high as$80,000.00 for
an exceptional fit. Staff hourly rates should be raised to a level recommended by the County Attorney
and Public Defender. Until you get a Public Defender trust the County Attorney to give you
recommendations. This would include a higher-level hourly rate for staff. These are professional offices,
and the employees should be paid accordingly.
209 ' Page
OFFICE SPACE
Provide a new office location for the Public Defender's office that is at least the equal of the County
Attorneys office. The present location is beyond repair,and it would be impossible to make it into an
acceptable working environment. It is depressing and unsafe as set out in this report. I would suggest if
there were space available in the Adams County Office Building where Probation is located,the Public
Defender's office should be relocated there immediately.The County Board should commit to
remodeling it to properly service the lawyers and the public. If,for instance, I was recruiting a law school
graduate and they were agreeable to the salary the present Adams County Public Defenders offices
would be a deal breaker. Both Buffalo and Hall County Public Defenders reported they had no issues
with the workspace provided to them.
PAYMENT PERIOD
Change the current monthly payment period to a payment period of twice a month.
I believe with tnese three changes Attorneys can be recruited to work in the Adams County Public
Defender's office and the problems eventually resolved
Submitted this J r) day of June 2023.
