Maribeth Collins

I am Maribeth Collins, an Assistant Public Defender in the Trial Division in York County. I have been practicing law for about 2 and a half years. That entire time of practice has been as a Public Defender and in York County. I consider Public Defense to likely be the entirety of my legal career, as this is what I am truly meant to do and what I feel is my contribution to this society.
I grew up in Northampton, Pennsylvania, went undergraduate at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and attended law school at Widener Commonwealth Law. I’ve settled in the York area by happenstance.
Within my office, I enjoy working as an Internship Coordinator to help law students find their passion for public service. I also enjoy speaking at local high schools about why our work is so important and the legal system that we are currently faced with every day.
