Continuance without attorney

[tascott]

I was arrested for OWI and DWS, plead not guilty on first hearing. On the second hearing, I went and asked for a continuance which was granted to me without a lawyer. Now I need to know if it is possible to get another continuance until I get my attorney paid in full or if I have to go through trial without one.????? Could I go in and ask for a court appointed attorney to give me a little more time to get my attorney paid off to represent me?

You can do anything you want, it is your trial. At least that is what a public defender once said, but yes, you can ask for a continuence on that basis. Good luck.
