Is it possible to ask the judge for a new public defender?

Answered by attorney Eric E Rothstein (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Rothstein Law PLLC
It is discretionary with the Judge. You need to have a good reason and it is better to ask early in the process because Judges tend to deny these requests if made on the eve of trial.

Can my mother drop the restraining order against me?

Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Jared Altman
It is somewhat no longer in her hands. She can't drop the charges but she can refuse to cooperate which might kill the case at any trial.

Should my son have his own attorney in a theft case?

Robert D. Lewin
Answered by attorney Robert D. Lewin
Criminal Law lawyer at Lewin & Lewin
Experience tells us that when multiple parties get charged in one incident they should each have their own lawyer especially if the charge is a felony. The lawyers, where appropriate, can work together and coordinate an approach. If it is not appropriate the lawyers do not have to work together. Each person charged is entitled to 100% loyalty from his/her lawyer. If a lawyer represents more than one person it is impossible to assure that that lawyer will be 100% loyal to both clients. The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts has cautioned lawyers about representing more than one accused in a case; it is not a good practice and most good criminal lawyers will not do it. In your sons case, you want to try to get the case dismissed or resolved in a way that will not get him a permanent criminal record. There are things that need to be done early on that can help greatly in that regard. If your son is a juvenile (under age 17 on the date of the offense) we can look for pre-trial diversion of his case. This gets the case out of the Court system and off his record.
