What if I want a new Public Defender assigned to my case?

An individual represented by a Public Defender may contact the Public Defenders Office to request a change in attorneys. However, given the limited resources of the Public Defenders Office, it is not likely that a new attorney will be assigned to your case. You may have disagreements from time to time with your Public Defender but most disagreements are normal for an attorney-client relationship and can be easily worked through.
