SECTION 2: NATURE OF CASE
Opponent
Opposing Counsel
1. The recipient of this form need not necessarily be a licensed attorney, but may also be a paralegal.
2. I am seeking an attorney and/or paralegal who can act as assistance of counsel to help me with either civil or
criminal litigation.
3. The person I select must answer this questionnaire in order to establish that they possess the requisite
knowledge and experience to competently execute the duties I require of him or her. They cannot and will not
be considered for my defense unless and until they answer this questionnaire.
4. The Sixth Amendment guarantees that I, the Submitter, shall enjoy the right to assistance of counsel for his
defense. I wish to enjoy the right to be comfortable with my counsel, to have counsel with a proven track record
of success in similar criminal cases, counsel who is committed to the same moral principles that bind me;
counsel who is not afraid to overcome all obstacles in getting the truth before the Jury in order to win an
acquittal.
This may be the most severe questionnaire you have ever been asked to complete. This questionnaire is severe
of necessity. Because this is a criminal case, part of my motivation for submitting this questionnaire is to
minimize the possibility that I might have to spend time in jail. An attorney lacking in knowledge or experience
would put me in danger of being unjustly convicted.
If you can practice in the court named on in the previous section and would like to be considered for this
important case, then please:
2. If I take on this case, I must represent you rather than simply act as “assistance of
counsel” in the second chair.
3. I agree to the terms of service in their entirety as described on the previous page and my
answers to the questions are presented later, along with my signature.
