Court Appointed Attorney Information

If you are charged with a criminal or civil offense that may result in a jail sentence and if you cannot afford an attorney, you may request a public defender for criminal offenses or a court-appointed attorney for criminal or civil offenses.

To request a public defender or court-appointed attorney, you must appear at the Clerk’s Office on the first floor of the Juvenile Court, Building 10A, between 8 a.m.-4 p.m. on weekdays. You must make the request at least 10 calendar days before your trial date. Failure to do so may be deemed a waiver of your right to counsel.
