Answer 1

A person is not entitled to have an attorney provided by the government for free in the situation of a minor crime where there is no possibility of jail or prison. In general, the right to a court-appointed attorney applies when there is a significant possibility of incarceration, or when the charges are serious enough that the defendant may face jail time. Minor crimes without the possibility of jail do not generally warrant the provision of a free attorney.
