It is important to have a good working relationship with your attorney. If you are considering a change, it is in your best interest to do this as early as possible in the process.

You may want to change attorneys for a variety of reasons.

• You no longer trust your attorney
• Poor communication
• Your attorney is not giving you straight answers to your questions
• Your attorney does not seem to be confident in court
• Your attorney does not seem prepared 
• Your attorney has not discussed your defense with you
• You are being pressured to plead guilty by your attorney when you want to go to trial
• Your attorney does not appear to be competent

You have a constitutional right to choose your own attorney. It's important to choose someone you trust—who is professional and keeps you well-informed so you can make important decisions about your case.
