Can I change criminal defense attorney if I'm unhappy with the one representing me?

Hi Ronald! Judges normally do not allow to change court-appointed or a public defender. Contrarily, defendants who hire private attorneys always have the right to fire them without court approval.

Dear Sir or Madam, I have a question related to the fees. More specifically, how much are criminal attorney fees in 2020? It is an easy question but answers are quite ambiguous everywhere. I researched and will appreciate if you can give comments. First, relying on your experience, what is better for the client: hourly billing or case billing? As far as I know, the criminal attorney's hourly fees start at $100. I personally haven't encountered a lower price in New York. Depending on the experience of the attorney, the price can rise to the $400 as a median legal fee. Taking these into account, I am not quite sure how to find out the experience of the attorney if he or she is not famous. Criminal cases are closed unseen and the information on the case is confidential. Defendants of criminal cases would not appreciate the information go public (unless it is needed). So, in most instances, it will be difficult to indicate an experienced attorney from unexperienced if their fees are the same. For a famous criminal attorney, the cost can be up to $1000 per hour. Surely, the average person will want to find a cheaper yet reliable option. Especially, when there are many hours of potential work. Thank you in advance! Best regards.

Thank you for the question. Indeed, you will not find the information regarding the "standard legal fee". Cases vary in various factors that can influence the cost of attorney's services: The seriousness of the offense; The probable complexity of the case; Whether the case goes to trial; Geography; and, as you mentioned, the attorney’s experience. Less experienced lawyers typically set fees lower than those of their more experienced colleagues. If you want to be sure, check the official rating of the attorney. Most reputable attorneys give their clients an opportunity to rate them online incognito. For complex cases, attorneys usually charge by the case. The fee would not change, regardless of the number of hours, the lawyer devotes to the case.
