The answer is yes. Absolutely not only do you have a right to counsel in this country, but you have a right to the attorney of your choosing. You have a right to have an attorney that you like, so if you have an existing criminal defense attorney that you don’t feel is fighting for you, that you feel you want to switch and get someone else that is more in line with how you want your case to be handled. You have a right to do that at almost any point in your case, so constantly look feel free to take meetings with other attorneys even if you have an attorney and you absolutely have the right to switch criminal defense attorneys at any time in the court process.
