You don't say how old anyone is, but if your son is under 18 you need to insist on a meeting with your court-appointed attorney to discuss what sounds like a theory of self-defense. If attorney refuses to meet, complain to the court.
You are certainly entitled to fire your attorney (if it is truly your attorney, and not your son's), and hire a different lawyer. But if it is your attorney, and court-appointed, you must be hard-pressed to hire anyone. You may at least want to find out what the current attorney's plans are, if any.
Good luck.
