Abstract: Faced with the search for strengthening democracy and equity among citizens, the Federal Constitution of 1998 established in its article 5, inc. LXXIV, that the State has the obligation to provide full and free legal assistance to those who prove insufficient resources (BRAZIL, 1998). Legal assistance is understood as the granting of free justice and the guarantee of legal assistance that is exercised by the Public Defender's Office, in respect of the principles of ample defense and contradictory, as well as to bring the most needy closer to access to justice. Through research on doctrines, laws, jurisprudence, and a case study in a particular Criminal Court in the Southern Region of Minas, it was found that there is a divergence of understandings regarding the granting of free justice for those assisted by the Public Defender's Office. - that these are people with insufficient resources - in criminal proceedings. In view of this divergence, the present research exposed the arguments in favor of granting exemption from procedural costs, and the arguments that support the opposite understanding, concluding that the benefit must be guaranteed for those assisted by the Public Defender's Office after analyzing these reflections.
