You can ask but it is up to the Judge.

Re: having a new attorney assigned

Thank you for your inquiry.

You always have the right to get a substitution of attorney in your case. If you have retained a private attorney you would need to contact and retain a second attorney and have the two lawyers sign and file a Notice of Substitution of Attorney.

If you are represented by the Public Defender, the assigned attorney is the one you must keep. However, you would have the ability to retain a private attorney should you wish.

My office does handle criminal matters. If you'd like to discuss your case in more detail contact my office to schedule a consultation.
