I have a friend who is in County Jail. His public attorney is not helping much in his case. He is interested in firing his public attorney. Can he fire his public defender? Can he get a new public defender assigned to his case? What does he need to do?

Write a letter, copy to the Judge, asking that PD be removed. No guarantee someone else will be appointed. You may be advised to retain your own counsel.
