Best Answer

In a criminal case, the defendant can request that the court appoint or assign a public defender to represent them. He/she can go to the clerk of the court where the case is pending to find out how to apply for this.

In a civil case, non-profit organizations, such as legal aid and local pro bono projects offer these services. You would start with the legal aid office to determine if you qualify.
