A defendant has a 'right' to the evidence held by the DA, except as to confidential informant ID and protected witness info. If that is what your attorney is withholding, now you know. He should fully disclose and discuss with you all other case evidence, to do his job well as your 'partner' in the case.

If you feel no confidence or trust in your attorney, then you should seek another. If serious about doing so, and are in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me at 714 960-7584
