Re: Request for New Court-Appointed Attorney
Case Number: [Your Case Number]
Dear Judge [Judge's Last Name],
I am writing to formally request the appointment of a new attorney to represent me in my case. I am currently represented by [Current Attorney's Name], but I have encountered significant issues that I believe hinder my ability to receive effective assistance of counsel.
Despite multiple attempts to provide [Current Attorney's Name] with crucial evidence and witness statements pertinent to my defense, including FTC documentation proving identity theft, witness statements, and title ownership, my efforts have been largely unacknowledged. I have documented these attempts, including multiple emails sent on [dates of emails] and in-person efforts during our meetings on [dates of meetings].
Given the gravity of the charges against me and the potential consequences, it is imperative that I have an attorney who will actively engage with my case and effectively present my evidence in court. I respectfully request the court to appoint a new attorney who can provide the necessary attention and dedication to my defense.
I appreciate your consideration of this request and look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
