From a lawyer source:

"In most jurisdictions, court-appointed counsel is usually a means-tested kind of right. What that means is that, while access to legal counsel in criminal matters is guaranteed by the Constitution, free legal counsel is dependent upon a person's income and assets. If a person has either sufficient income or assets, counsel generally will not be provided without cost since it's expected that such individuals can "afford" their own counsel. In practice, this means only those who are indigent or nearly so get free representation."
