What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
I have a pretrial conference set for November 20th. I currently have a public defender. At the time of arraignment I could not afford a lawyer. Now, I am able to and have a job and would much like to hire someone else.
Is that a possibility at this point? Do I just go about it by calling the new attorney I am wanting to hire? I assume a continuance is a possibility but I do not really know for sure...
