Q: If I asked my PD two times to file paperwork with court to request New attorney and they do not do it what can I do ?
I have been wrongly charged of a felony and my PD in my opinion is mad when she heard I complained about her! She did not inform the judge I was in hospital and had to reschedule the appt.(not court hearing)and the judge put me in jail!

A: If your attorney is not responding then one option is to try to contact her supervisor and if that does not work then insist on talking to the judge directly or write a letter to the court. These are not the common approaches but if it's all you have then go for it. Also, keep in mind that it is not common for a judge will give you a new lawyer, though as with anything it will depend on the overall circumstances.
