I see a lot of answers from people stating "your are guaranteed a lawyer paid for by the state..." concerning legal and criminal matters. Do people out there realize that you must qualify as indigent to have an attorney provided for your. Basically, if you qualify for various social welfare programs, you are indigent. If you don't qualify for those programs, you are likely not indigent, and they do not have to "provide you with an attorney at no charge."
Where people get this information that everyone is guaranteed an attorney is beyond me.
