What to do if I’ve been denied a court appointed lawyer?
I have no income due to medical issues. I provided all the info and paperwork that was asked for but they still denied me. How can that happen? Since I cannot afford to pay a paid lawyer, what do I do?

Since you have been denied a court appointed lawyer you should still go to the public defender's office and discuss the situation with one of its representatives as to how to proceed. Perhaps consulting wiht your local legal aid clinic or county bar association may provide leads to you for getting representation for the matter you are involved in at no or little cost.
