These guys don’t pay their workers, you expect them to pay for lawyers. When they realize how fucked they are you’ll see them find money for a private lawyer.

I meant the Legal Aid Society should have rejected them as clients because they don't seem to be indigent owning a construction company.

There are worse defendants out there with public defense representation.

If they don’t have an attorney representing them in court, then the whole case could be canceled because no one can be tried criminally without an attorney.
