ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ABOUT DEFENDING YOUR CASE

I ALREADY HAVE AN ATTORNEY, BUT I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE ATTORNEY. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

This can be a difficult situation. Most criminal defense lawyers charge a flat fee and are reluctant to return the fee after it is paid. If you find yourself in this situation, you should start by having a frank discussion with the lawyer. Tell the lawyer why you are not satisfied. You should also read your fee contract and you may suggest that the lawyer return a portion of your fee so that you can hire another lawyer. If the problem is significant, you should contact the State Bar Association at (800) 932-1900 to determine if the State Bar can be of any assistance.
