What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WI
Finally my pain in the butt neighbor was charged with a class H felony. This person requested a public defender. I saw that legal counsel was appointed. This person owns a home valued at $440,000.00, pays over $7,000 per year in property taxes, listed the home to be fully restored with many valuable antiques, and is not behind on any utilities or taxes. They also own a rental property valued at over $265,000.00 with 5 units charged at close to $700.00 per month per unit, fully rented at all times, with property taxes at over $4,000, with no taxes or utilities listed as behind. They stated that rooms are rented in the privet home and that is not considered income and that the rental property is not listed as income. How can someone with this much property qualify for the tax payers to cover the expenses. Also the amount listed as income will in no way cover the monthly expenses such as utilities, insurance and house payments.

I'm sorry, I did not see a question mark. Did you just want to rant?

There is not going to be any free legal services given to someone so rich. Sheesh.

You seem to be awfully well informed of your neighbors financial situation. Seems you may need a hobby.

Anyway, qualifying for a p.d is an informal matter. It is a matter of answering a few questions.

Whitey Bulger got a PD.

The property could be mortgaged to the hilt.

No I do not have to much time on my hands! the case involves me I am victim the victim of the felony that was committed. with more possible charges pending. I read the file to see why they received free legal assistance! Files are on line that is how I know about the free legal assistance! No not a rant! the question is how did they get one with so many assets! claim thy can not pay bills if they have to pay for their own att. this has gone on for over 2 years and involves wire tapping and stalking! Question was (if you need a ? mark ) why with this much property would any one get free help and why is rental property not considered income ???????????????????????

The answer is doubtless within the law:

I would say it is within the realm of possibility that he lied. It is just that easy.

Additionally, the neighbor could still be billed for the services of the PD.

Seems OP already has a hobby. Obviously that's how he/she/it is getting the information on the neighbor.

No disrespect intended to the many devoted Public Defenders out there but OP'S chances probably just went up. Most PDs are overbooked and cannot devote as much time to a case as a private attorney. (especially one who bills by the hour)
