You may make the request in person at your next court appearance, however it is not a guaranteed right except for in extrem circumstances. Generally, however, the court will grant some leeway on the first request for changing an attorney - on requests to change again you will more than likley have a problem...

you may also hire your own private attorney as a way to change lawyers. Feel free to contact my office if this is what you chose to do. You may visit our website at www.cgonzalezlawfirm.com - or you may email us at the address provided below - or call us directly at 2127098303
