The form contains four sections, each of which must be completed in order to be approved. Section 1 requires the defendant's name, address, and attorney of record; Section 2 requires the identification and payment information for the expert or service provider; Section 3 requires a detailed description of services to be provided and the estimated cost of those services; and Section 4 requires a signature from the defendant's attorney certifying the accuracy of the information provided and the need for the services.
