Best Answer

You can change your lawyer during an appellate proceeding. You may have to get the judge's approval, however. If you are appealing a criminal case and have a public defender, the only realistic way to get a new attorney is to hire one. Many lawyers are good at appeals cases and are retained for just this purpose.

Can you change your lawyer during your process?

yes In most jurisdictions, once trial begins and sometimes even shortly before trial begins, you may change attorneys only with the consent of the court. There is too much room for parties to delay a trial if they suddenly want to change lawyers just before or during the trial. If there is good cause to permit the change, the party may request that his/her attorney be discharged and a new one retained.

I'm no lawyer. I do, however, know that if you have a grievance against the legal system you (or anybody) can apply to the courts for an appeal. Convicted murders and victims can both appeal to the Courts about their sentences. He and you can appeal for many years. You need to contact a lawyer (or me as a friend of the court) for further advice.
