Alaska Motion for Counsel (Non-Prisoner) is a legal document that allows a person to obtain a court-appointed attorney for a civil case. It is designed for individuals who cannot afford to pay for private counsel and need the assistance of a professional attorney. The motion is filed in the superior court of the county where the case is being heard. The motion must state the facts of the case, the legal basis for the request, and the desired outcome of the motion. There are two types of Alaska Motion for Counsel (Non-Prisoner): civil and criminal. Civil motions can be used to request an attorney to represent a person in matters such as divorce, child custody, adoption, or guardianship. Criminal motions are used in cases such as DUI, assault, or drug possession. The motion must be accompanied by documents showing the person’s financial hardship. Once the motion is approved, the court will appoint an attorney to represent the person in the case.
