The Court can appoint a public defender to you if you are not able to afford to retain an attorney. At a criminal arraignment you will be offered the option for a court appointed public defender if you enter a plea of not guilty. You will be requested to complete the Public Defender Application to ensure that you’re not financially able to afford your own counsel.
