YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY, IF YOU CAN NOT AFFORD A PRIVATE ATTORNEY, THE COURT MAY APPOINT THE PUBLIC DEFENDER OR Alternate Public Defender TO REPRESENT YOU
At your arraignment, the Court will ask if you have hired an attorney or have the financial ability to hire an attorney to represent you.
If you can't afford an attorney, the Court will request that you complete a FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND FINANCIAL RELEASE FORM.
