Free Criminal Defense Evaluation

LegalASAP can likely match you with a local, experienced criminal defense attorney for a free consultation right away. This attorney will charge you $0 to review your case.

While the Constitution guarantees free representation for anyone who cannot afford to hire a lawyer, not everyone is eligible. The Criminal Justice Act (CJA) requires every person arrested on criminal charges to submit a financial eligibility form first. If your household income’s more than 125% of your state’s poverty level, you cannot get free, court-appointed representation.

We’ll try to match you with one right away! If we do, a nearby attorney will call to complete your criminal defense evaluation by phone during business hours.

Sometimes, we can’t match you with a nearby attorney for a free criminal defense evaluation. This may happen because:

• You gave us the wrong phone number, email address, or ZIP code
• No local attorney is currently available to discuss your case
