There are many defendants in a case. Can these defendants use a lawyer?

According to what you said, it needs to be treated differently:

criminal case

In criminal cases, a lawyer can only represent one defendant. Now there must be lawyers in criminal cases (such as Beijing, a pilot city now).

civil case

In a civil case, multiple defendants can entrust a lawyer at the same time. However, if there is a conflict of interest, the same law firm is generally not allowed.

What is your specific situation? You need specific case analysis.

If you have any questions, you can continue to consult with Beijing Daosheng lawyer Zeus.
