What if you can't afford a lawyer?

  1. You represent yourself in court

  2. You are given a state prosecutor

  3. There are legal aid services available free of charge or at a low cost

  4. You must find a volunteer lawyer

The correct answer is: There are legal aid services available free of charge or at a low cost

If you cannot afford a lawyer, you can still receive legal help from legal aid services. These services are often provided free of charge or at a low cost to individuals who are financially unable to afford a private lawyer. Option A, representing yourself in court, may not be ideal as navigating the legal system without proper knowledge and experience can be difficult. Option B, being assigned a state prosecutor, only applies in criminal cases and may not provide the same level of advocacy as a private lawyer. Option D, finding a volunteer lawyer, may not be a feasible option for everyone and does not guarantee quality legal representation. Therefore, option C is the best choice for those who cannot afford a lawyer.
