What else can I help you with?
What can you do if your public defender is not answering your calls?
If your public defender is not responding to your calls, try reaching out to their office directly to leave a message and request a follow-up. You can also visit the office in person if possible. If the lack of communication persists, consider contacting the public defender's supervisor or filing a complaint with the public defender's office. Additionally, you may want to seek advice from a legal aid organization or another attorney for further guidance.

How does California provide a defendant an attorney?
If you meet the qualifications to be represented by a public defender, one will be appointed for you. Usually, the biggest qualifying/disqualifying factor is whether you have the income to hire your own attorney or not.It must be for a criminal case - Public Defenders are not supplied for civil cases. You must qualify by income level. If your income is above a certain level you will not qualify for a Public Defender and you must supply your own.
How do you switch from a lawyer to a public defender?
A Public Defender is an attorney, duly licensed to practice law, who represents people without financial means to employ counsel. If a defendant has means to employ counsel only for a limited purpose or period, when the dfenendant's funds are exhausted, private counsel will then ask for permission to withdraw from the case. At that point, a Public Defender attorney may be appointed by the court.
If a person is provided a public defender in a Florida court but the public defender does not show up can a guilty plea be changed since defendant was not represented by any council?
Your question is a bit unclear. If you are asking if you can withdraw a guilty plea and enter a plea of not guilty on a day your attorney is not present, no the judge will not let you do that. If you are saying that the state gave you a public defender and then allowed you to plead guilty when your attorney was not present, then yes you could get your plea back. I can assure you that neither of these things happened. If they had, it would be front page news in law journals all over the nation. The judge would be suspended immediately. The prosecuting attorney would also lose his job. Both would probably be disbarred. Yes, because it is the states responsibility to provide representation for the charged defendant. Reschedule or postpone hearing.
When should a Judge appoint a Public Defender?
In California, public defenders are assigned by the judge during the defendant's first court appearance, which is called an arraignment. Public defenders are only assigned to defendants who can't afford to hire a lawyer, so the defender has to complete a financial form. If the judge or the public defender determines that the defendant can't afford a lawyer, the judge will assign a public defender at that time. However, it is possible to obtain the services of a public defender before the arraignment. If the defendant is being questioned or put in a lineup, and can't afford a lawyer, the police will arrange for a public defender to be present, or allow the defendant to call the Public Defender's Office. If the defendant has been charged with a crime but is not in custody, he or she can visit the Public Defender's Office at any time. But the public defender assigned by the judge may not be the same person the defendant before arraignment. The first related link is the Los Angeles Public Defender's Office, which has good information about their process (click the FAQ menu item). Other county Public Defender offices may have different procedures. The second related link has links to all Public Defender offices in California.
Can a judge in Missouri refuse to appoint a public defender if defendant home is paid for?
In Nevada you need to financially prove to the court that you cannot afford to hire an attorney. If you do get approved for a court appointed attorney, you still have to pay attorney fees at a low monthly payment. I'm not sure if it is the same in Missouri.
