Answer:
You can typically request to fire your court-appointed attorney and choose to represent yourself or hire another attorney. However, courts generally prefer defendants to have legal representation in criminal cases. Court-appointed attorneys often have significant experience and can provide effective representation. If you believe your attorney is not adequately representing you, you can request a different attorney. To do this, you must present a valid reason to the court.
