A public defender has already been assigned, but can I still hire a private attorney?

Even after a public defender has been assigned, you can still entrust your case to a private attorney specialized in your case.

After hiring a private attorney and submitting the appointment, the public defender will automatically resign.

Public defenders have the advantage of providing defense free of charge, but since they are appointed by the state, it can be difficult for them to dedicate ample time and effort solely for the defendant.

If your family member is being charged with a complex criminal case where there are many points to dispute and feel unjustly treated, we recommend hiring a private attorney.

In addition, since they can represent settlement with victims and present criminal trial evidence not detected by investigative agencies to establish a defense strategy, we recommend reappointing a private attorney.

Private attorneys can respond immediately when attorney visits are needed even when the client is detained, so please consider carefully and make a decision as quickly as possible.
