A court-appointed attorney has already been assigned, so is it possible to retain a private attorney?

Even after a court-appointed attorney has been assigned, you may still entrust your case to a privately retained attorney who specializes in your particular matter.

Once a privately retained attorney is engaged and the notice of appointment is filed, the court-appointed attorney is automatically discharged.

A court-appointed attorney offers the advantage that the defense can be provided free of charge; however, because such an attorney is designated by the State, there is a possibility that it may become difficult to devote a great deal of time and full dedication solely to the defendant.

If the matter for which your family member is suspected is a complex criminal case with many points that can be reasonably contested and that involves injustice, we recommend retaining a privately retained attorney.

In addition, because we can represent you in reaching a settlement with the victim and present criminal evidence that the investigative agency did not uncover, thereby establishing a defense strategy, we recommend retaining a privately retained attorney again.

A privately retained attorney can respond immediately when an attorney visit is needed even while a person is detained, so you may wish to consider this carefully before making a decision.
