What is the cost of court app lawyer?

Answer 1

This answer will apply to CRIMINAL court matters (in the US) only:

There are several types of 'court appointed lawyers.'

Public Defenders, are employees of the government whose job is to represent indigent defendants. If your income falls below a certain level the court will appoint one to you at no cost.

Another type would be those attorneys who volunteer their services to the court for free (Pro Bono) either for the satisfaction of doing public service work, or to retain (or increase) their skills in a courtroom setting.

Still another, are those attorneys that hold out their service to the court to assist those who, though they may not quite qualify for a public defender, are still financially unable to afford competent legal help. These attorneys will often work on a 'sliding' scale adjusted to the income of their clients.

(in the US) There are no court appointed Public Defenders afforded to defendants, or plaintiffs, in civil court actions.
