A:
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. You may qualify for a public defender, who can provide legal representation at no cost if you meet certain income criteria. To apply, contact the court handling your case and ask about public defender services.
Additionally, there are legal aid organizations that offer free or low-cost assistance to individuals in need. These organizations can help you navigate your case and may provide resources to support your defense. You can find local legal aid groups by searching online or visiting a nearby courthouse.
Don't hesitate to reach out for support. Many communities have resources available to help you during this challenging time. Seeking assistance early can make a significant difference in your case and help you access the legal help you need.
