Other Info

We do not handle criminal cases if poor people are charged with a crime, they generally are entitled to a free public defender (provided by the government). But for most other kinds of cases, low-income people do not have a government-funded lawyer, and they usually cannot afford to pay for a private attorney. Most often, poor people only have access to a lawyer if they can get help from a legal aid lawyer.
