George asked:
This is in regards to a DUI conviction in Phoenix, AZ for someone living in Phoenix, AZ. If someone is unemployed will they automatically qualify for a public defender? Also, what measures are taken to verify your financial information? Will the court do a financial background check to make sure you qualify for a public defender? Please help. I couldn’t find any information about this around the web. Thank you.
