Criminal Case. is representation of a defendant in a preliminary hearing, trial or felony hearing, including all necessary motions and appearances, to completion of all proceedings in the Los Angeles Superior Court. Two or more consolidated cases involving the same defendant are considered as one case. An appointment to represent a previously sentenced defendant on a subsequent matter, such as an alleged violation of probation or failure in a diversionary program, constitutes a new and separate case. Infractions are not "cases" under this definition.
