Federal Court Attorney Request
Summary
To request a federal court-appointed attorney, ask during your initial appearance and complete a financial affidavit (CJA Form 23) to demonstrate financial need. If arrested by state police under a federal warrant, you can file a motion with the federal judge to review state bond conditions. Your state-appointed attorney may not handle federal matters due to jurisdictional limits or strategic reasons. They might assist by consulting with a federal attorney. Consider discussing your case with your attorney for clarity and potential referrals.Full Conversation
