  coordinated   by  an  administrator  shall  at  the  conclusion  of  the
  representation receive:
    (a) for representation of a person entitled to representation  by  law
  who  is  initially  charged  with a misdemeanor or lesser offense and no
  felony,  compensation   for   such   misdemeanor   or   lesser   offense
  representation  at a rate of sixty dollars per hour for time expended in
  court or before a magistrate, judge or justice, and  sixty  dollars  per
  hour  for  time  reasonably  expended  out  of  court, and shall receive
  reimbursement for expenses reasonably incurred; and
    (b) for representation of a person in all other cases governed by this
  article,  including  all   representation   in   an   appellate   court,

  in providing representation:
    (a) pursuant to paragraph (a) of subdivision one of this section shall
  not exceed two thousand four hundred dollars; and
    (b) pursuant to paragraph (b) of subdivision one of this section shall
  not exceed four thousand four hundred dollars.
    3. For representation on an  appeal,  compensation  and  reimbursement

  compensation and reimbursement shall be fixed by the trial court  judge.
  In  extraordinary  circumstances  a trial or appellate court may provide
  for compensation in excess of the foregoing limits and  for  payment  of
  compensation and reimbursement for expenses before the completion of the

  a  sworn  statement  specifying  the  time  expended, services rendered,
  expenses incurred and  reimbursement  or  compensation  applied  for  or
  received  in  the  same  case from any other source. No counsel assigned
  hereunder shall seek or accept any fee for representing  the  party  for
  whom  he  or  she  is  assigned  without approval of the court as herein
  provided.
