I am currently facing federal drug conspiracy charges, I paid my lawyer about 1/4 of what I owe him and now I am dead broke, being evicted and can barely pay my bills. I know I need to discharge him and get a public defender, but he won't take my calls or emails so I have no clue how to go about doing this.
I called the public defenders office, but they tell me that he has to take care of it. I am at a loss as to what to do and my trial is 22 days away, I have been trying to get him to respond for 2 weeks now. Answers (2)

Your attorney owes you a duty on communciation. I would go into his or her office and demand a meeting. Also, you may contact the judge's office and ask to have the matter placed on the calendar. You can move to have your trial continued.
I do not practice in your state so your area's rules and practices might vary.
