Summary
You have the right to change your attorney at any time by informing the court. Switching to a public defender does not lead to retaliation from the court or DA. The search of your home without a warrant might be a Fourth Amendment violation unless an exception applies. If you cant afford a private attorney, you can apply for a public defender. To terminate your attorneys services, write a formal letter, sign and date it, send it via certified mail, request your case files back, and inform the court and your new attorney. Consult with a legal expert in Butte County for specific procedures.Full Conversation
I hired a paid attorney for my criminal case. He is not addressing any of my concerns to the court and is doing only what he wants. He treats me like I'm a criminal and I just don't think it's right after paying him $*,* can I get a public defender and would it hurt me with the court with the judge and the DA retaliate against me for that
Hello ****, the process of changing legal representation can vary based on your location. Could you please provide me with that information for more specific advice?
I was pulled over with * g of meth. No no extra money. No baggies no scales. When I went to jail the cops went and raided my house and found nothing else. They didn't leave a note that they had been there. I only know because they're in my camera. Is that legal? Anyway? My attorney doesn't want to address any of my issues that I have. I am guilty of what I'm guilty of but can he address my issues that I'm concerned with shouldn't he since I paid him
Hi ****. I understand your concerns. First, your lawyer should address your concerns, so consider discussing this with him directly. If you're unsatisfied, you can switch to a public defender or a different attorney. As for the search of your home, it generally requires a warrant. However, certain exceptions might apply. Could you please tell me your location so I can provide more specific information?
