Hello ****, it sounds like a tough situation. In Ohio, your boyfriend can:
- Request a new public defender if his lawyer is no longer practicing
- If the other lawyer was disbarred, he can file a post-conviction relief petition if it relates to his case.
Please consult a local attorney for further advice.
