Wainwright was a Supreme Court case that said all criminal defendants must be provided with a lawyer if they can’t afford one. but that applies in criminal cases, not civil cases. So if you are poor and you get sued (or want to sue someone) in civil court, there is no guarantee of a government funded lawyer. But (the posters linked to point out) there are government funded lawyers at legal aid that may be able to help you.
