Will the court appoint an attorney for me?
The court does not appoint attorneys in civil cases. In criminal cases, if you are financially unable to hire an attorney, you may apply for a court appointed attorney. At the arraignment, the Judge will require you to fill out an affidavit of indigency. The Judge will review your affidavit and determine, by the appropriate financial guideline, your eligibility for a public defender.
