Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: 2nd Continuance

It is quite possible the judge will give you another continuance. You risk nothing by giving it your best shot and making the best pitch possible.

Push comes to shove, the judge will appoint a public defender for you to get the case going. You can (pretty much) always retain a private lawyer to take over the case later.

Feel free to contact me for a free consultation regarding your case.

Re: 2nd Continuance

Is it a continuance for the trial readiness conference? If you come in with a new attorney, then you it may be granted. Contact me directly.

Re: 2nd Continuance

Not sure it just depends on the judge do the best you can to interview attorneys prior and be prepared to tell the judge what efforts you have taken to interview new attorney since the fall out with your prior attorney.

At the very least allow the public defender to be appointed while you interview other attorneys is a possiblity, so the case does not get to old.
