A:
MORE INFO WOULD BE NEEDED BY YOUR LAWYER.
HOWEVER, I WOULD SUGGEST HE ASKS THE COURT TO APPOINT A LAWYER......IT WILL EITHER BE A PUBLIC DEFENDER OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY WHO DOES A LOT OF CRIMINAL LAW.
THAT LAWYER IN ALL LIKELIHOOD WILL DO A BETTER JOB THAN A LAWYER LOOKING TO DO SOME PRO BONO WHO MAY NOT DO A LOT OF CRIMINAL LAW.
THE PD KNOWS ALL THE JUDGES, DA ETC.........THAT IS YOUR BEST BET.
