The Factors for Consideration when Assigning an Attorney to Your Civil case
ASSIGNING COUNSEL
5 Factors
(1) whether the indigent's claims seem likely to be of substance;(2) whether the indigent is able to investigate the crucial facts concerning his/her claim;
(3) whether conflicting evidence implicating the need for cross-examination will be the major proof presented to the fact finder;
(4) whether the legal issues involved are complex; and
(5) whether there are any special reasons why appointment of counsel would be more likely to lead to a just determination.
