What is the test for appointing a new attorney in a personal injury case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Blanks, B282344 (Cal. App. 2018):
"When a defendant seeks to obtain a new court-appointed counsel on the basis of inadequate representation, the court must permit her to explain the basis of her contention and to relate specific instances of inadequate performance. The court must appoint a new attorney if the record clearly shows the current attorney is not providing adequate representation or that the defendant and counsel have such an irreconcilable conflict that ineffective representation is likely to result. (People v. Jackson (2009)
