   The Constitutions of the United States and of the several states provide a right to counsel in criminal prosecutions to secure the right to a fair trial by enabling the accused to participate fully and fairly in the adversary fact-finding process, and to abrogate the English common law rule under which persons charged with felony were not entitled to be heard by counsel. 

   The right belongs to the guilty as well as the innocent, and applies to resident aliens. The right is personal to the accused and cannot be invoked by an attorney without the consent of his or her client. 

   An accused has the right to be represented by counsel of his or her choice, at least where the accused retains counsel. Thus, once the right to counsel has attached, the Sixth Amendment imposes on the state an affirmative obligation to respect and preserve the accused's choice to seek the assistance of counsel. It has also been stated that the Sixth Amendment generally ensures that an accused may be represented by any attorney who will agree to take his or her case.
