§ 310 In General § 310.10 Availability § 310.10.10 Overview (a)Investigative, expert, or other services necessary to adequate representation, as authorized by subsection (e) of the Criminal Justice Act (CJA) (18 U.S.C. § 3006A), are available to persons who are eligible under the CJA, including persons who have retained counsel but who are found by the court to be financially unable to obtain the necessary services. (b)In this connection, a person with retained counsel is financially unable to obtain the necessary services if the person's resources are in excess of the amount needed to provide the person and the person's dependents with the necessities of life, provide defendant's release on bond, and pay a reasonable fee to the person's retained counsel, but are insufficient to pay for the necessary services. § 310.10.20 Retained Counsel and Fee Arrangements (a)In responding to requests for services under 18 U.S.C. §
3006A(e) by a person represented by retained counsel, the court should inquire into the fee arrangement between the retained attorney and the client. (b)If the court finds the fee arrangement unreasonable in relation to fees customarily paid to qualified practitioners in the community for services in criminal matters of similar duration and complexity, or that it was made with a gross disregard of the defendant's trial expenses, the court may order the retained attorney to pay out of such fees all or such part of the costs and expenses as the court may direct. (c)The procedure outlined in the Guide, Vol 7A, § 210.40.40 applies to such persons who are financially able to pay some, but unable to pay all, the costs of necessary services. <
