Why should you hire a criminal lawyer?
You may be entitled to a court appointed Houston criminal lawyer at the public's expense, known as a public defender, if you qualify as an indigent person.
An indigent person is one who cannot hire a criminal lawyer without causing substantial hardship to himself/herself or dependent family.
If you have been charged with a crime, you may complete an Affidavit of Indigence and Request for Court Appointed Counsel at your first court appearance.
If you qualify, a Houstong criminal lawyer will be appointed for you. If you are convicted of a crime, the court may require you to repay some or all of the cost of your defense if it determines any financial ability to do so.
Because few people qualify for a court appointed criminal law attorney at the public's expense, most people arrested for crimes hire a criminal defense attorney.
