If the criminal matter that you are writing pertaining to you about is not an infraction citation, but rather is a misdemeanor or a felony matter, then under the laws of all states in this country you would be entitled to appointed defense counsel if you cannot afford to pay for a private attorney and qualify for a court appointed attorney.
If the matter that you are writing about is an infraction, you are not entitled to a court appointed attorney under the laws of all states in this country.
