Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: marsden motion

There aren't really forms necessary. If you tell your attorney you want a Marsden hearing, they're obligated to inform the court & you can have your hearing without filing anything. If your attorney doesn't let the court know, you can speak up and tell the judge yourself.

I'd discuss whatever dissatisfaction and issues you have with your attorney before taking the step of requesting a Marsden motion, though.

Re: marsden motion

There are no forms. Just let the court know that you want to have your court-appointed lawyer removed. If still have questions about the process, feel free to email. There are a lot of things to consider before making your motion. If you email me I can send you a link to an article on Marsden motions and how to win them.
