YOu might need more time to obtain counsel. Or your counsel might need more time to prepare your case. Or you might have a situation, like a medical situation, you have to have done and need your criminal case postponed until you are healthy enough to attend. These are only a few possible reasons to postpone a trial.

How many times may a defendant change attorneys?

I do not believe that there is a 'set' number of times. Defendants do have the privilege of changing their attorney's "for good cause." But a defendant cannot postpone his trial indefinitely by using this method. Eventually the judge will assign him an attorney the judge knows to be competent and the trial will proceed with the defendant's approval, or not.
