Black Forest Colorado Criminal Attorneys

You may be entitled to a court appointed criminal attroney 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 criminal attorney 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.

Select a qualified criminal lawyer who has the experience to represent your case in court. Many criminal attorneys will arrange payment plans for clients who cannot afford to pay legal fees up front.
