Hi
My son is looking at 15 to life. Is there a way to get court postponed. He has his preliminary today and they scheduled him for trail in 2 days. They don't even have the discovery. How can you have trail without a discovery? I need time to get him a lawyer. If I can find one that isn't best friends with the Da and Judge. He put in a motion to suppress but it was denied. He has a public defender. Who don't put in much effort. His online reviews for the past 20 yrs are very bad. Can't he fire him? He tried. The lawyer said the court won't let him fire him. How's that work?

My son has no violent crimes, no gun crimes, no kid stuff. Just drug charges and theft. Please help me and tell me what I or he can do to postpone this case.

Thank you for your time and energy.

Yes, a client can request the court to allow him/her to fire her/his attorney. He/she should discuss the dissatisfaction with the current attorney of record. The attorney will bring the issue before the judge, and the attorney's services will be dismissed.

If you’re looking to postpone something, the first step is to reach out to whoever is involved and explain your situation. Most people understand that life happens, so be honest and transparent about why you need the delay. Communication is vital, whether it’s a court date, a meeting, or a commitment. You might want to ask if there’s a specific process to follow, as it can vary depending on what you’re postponing. If it’s a legal matter, like a DUI case, you might even want to consider getting advice from a professional. I’ve heard good things about the team at Olen Firm Criminal Defense Lawyers.
