(1) In all cases, the offender is entitled to representation by an attorney at the offender's own expense.
(2) For Board cases only, if the Hearings Officer or the Board deems the offender indigent, and unable to pay for an attorney, the offender is entitled to a Board appointed attorney if the Board or Hearings Officer further finds that the offender has made a timely and colorable claim that:
(a) The offender has not committed the alleged violation;
(b) There are substantial or complex mitigating circumstances which make revocation inappropriate even if the offender admits violation or it is a matter of record; or

(3) For Board cases only, after a Board member has approved findings that there is a timely and colorable claim, the Hearings Officer may appoint an attorney.
(4) When the Hearings Officer or Board refuses to appoint an attorney, the Hearings Officer or Board shall state the grounds for refusal in the record.
(5) For Local Supervisory Authority cases, the Local Supervisory Authority may set its own criteria for appointment of an attorney and shall set its own standards for payment of appointed attorneys.
