Dear Sir or Madam: The problem in answering your question is that you didn't state what kind of hearing it was.  Was it civil or criminal? For civil cases, the court will almost never, ever appoint you an attorney. However, attorney's are permitted to be present for their client in all civil matters. As far as criminal cases, I have seen instances where a lawyer has been denied the defendant after making a request for one.  I have also seen hearings where the defendant does not have a lawyer, even after the defendant requested one. This usually happens when the defendant makes a first appearance without an attorney and the judge gives him time to retain one and the defendant comes back to court without one. A judge will take the position that the defendant has waived his right to have an attorney present and will not give them another chance. To answer your question, in Georgia, you cannot sue a judge. If you think your rights have been violated, write to the U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, DC and file a formal complaint with their civil rights division. I hope this helps. Laurence F.
