A:
Your granddaughter can hire any attorney of her choosing at any time. If she has a court-appointed attorney, however, or is being represented for free by a legal aid organization, *and* the feeling is that the "free" attorney isn't doing his/her job, then it might be time for the family to come together and pony up the funds to hire private counsel.
If the dependency case is in southeastern PA, feel free to contact me offsite to further discuss. Best of luck to everyone involved.
