Alright you low life clients and especially the sleaze or sleazette who made this inquiry. Here are your answers.
Whether in criminial or civil matters, in circumstances where no prosecution has commenced or no civl action has been commenced or filed in Court - there is nothing you can do about keeping the same lawyer if he wants to go.
Only after the a criminal or civil action has been formally initated and your lawyer has formally signed on with the Court as your counsel, do you have a chance of keeping him even though he will not be paid.
The strength of your chances of keeping him is based upon how far along on the court action is when you run out of money or clam you have run out of money.
If a trial date has already been set then a judge is less likely to let your lawyer out of the case - ovedue fees be damned. Also, if you have reached a stage in criminal or civil cases where discovery or exchange of pertinent infomration between attorneys is over - which means you are a good bit down the road - then the judge may make the lawyer stay.
Again, sd s rule, the longer the lawyer is in the case after it is filed, the less likely it is he will get out because judges wants to get their cases over and a change in lawyers is contrary to that goal.
If you cannot pay in a criminal matter, go to Legal Aid or the Office of the Pulic Defender and tell them you have become impecune (sic) You might get a free or discount lawyer you low life.
