Can I change lawyers in the middle of a lawsuit? I can change lawyers in the middle of a lawsuit because this is a general agency contract. If I am not satisfied with the lawyer, I can hire another lawyer. "Criminal Procedure Law" Article 45 During the trial, the defendant may refuse the defender to continue to defend him, or he may entrust other defenders to defend him. Article 33 In addition to exercising the right of defense themselves, criminal suspects and defendants may entrust one or two people to serve as defenders. The following persons may be entrusted as defenders: (1) Lawyers; (2) Defenders recommended by people's organizations or the unit where the criminal suspect or defendant works; (3) Criminal suspects, defendants, their guardians, relatives and friends. Persons who are being punished or deprived of personal freedom may not serve as defenders. Persons who have been dismissed from public office or whose practicing certificates as lawyers or notaries have been revoked may not serve as defenders, except for guardians and close relatives of criminal suspects and defendants. If you plan to change lawyers during the case, you can come for legal consultation.
