I filed for a court appointed attorney and I never even went in front of the judge
Hello ****, when you say you "filed for a court-appointed attorney", do you mean you submitted a request for a public defender? You typically have to show financial hardship to qualify. Did you complete this process?
Yes
That's an important step, ****. Did you receive any communication or confirmation from the court or the public defender's office about your request?
No
It seems unusual that you haven't received any communication. Let's look at next steps:
- Resubmit your request.
- Follow up with the public defender's office.
- Attend all your court dates.
