continuances

What should you do if you need a new lawyer before your trial? Asking for a continuance may be your best option, especially if you are no longer confident that your current attorney can effectively represent you at trial. You need a lawyer who is prepared to step in and immediately take over your case. The last-minute trial lawyers at Tauler Smith LLP represent both plaintiffs and defendants in California, Texas, New York, and Florida courts, as well as federal courts throughout the U.S.

Although it is never easy to make the decision to change lawyers, this is a move that may be necessary if you have lost confidence in your representation. After all, you are the one who will have to live with the consequences if your lawyer loses the case. So, you should feel comfortable doing everything you can to give yourself the best chance of a successful verdict. But what happens if your trial is already in progress? Can you change lawyers during a trial?
