A. No. The trial court can appoint an attorney to represent a party on appeal in a criminal case under certain circumstances. The Court of Appeals and Supreme Court do not appoint attorneys. Trial courts generally do not appoint attorneys in civil cases. If you are financially unable to hire an attorney, a motion can be filed in the trial court asking for pauper status and/or the appointment of counsel in a criminal case. Contact the trial court to determine what is necessary for this procedure and if it is possible to obtain court-appointed counsel in your particular kind of case.
