CAN I CHANGE MY LAWYER IF THE ONE I HAVE IS NOT WORKING?.

Kambukha collected ‘contribution’ from all his family members so that he could hire Makubuya as his lawyer. There were rumors that Makubuya had never lost a case, so Kambukha knew this was the ‘man he wanted fighting for him’. The problem is Makubuya is always busy.

It has been 7 months since he picked calls or even joined Kambukha in court. Kambukha has been warned that things are not looking good for him, and he may even end up in prison. Kambukha wanted to switch to another lawyer who can ‘save’ him but he is worried if the court will not just chase him away and order him to just do everything himself.

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

By law, anyone who has a case before a court is allowed to either represent themselves or bring a legal representative (called a lawyer) to represent them and argue their case. This does not mean that you only get one chance to choose which lawyer represents you.

If the case is still going on and the court has not made a final decision about your case, you are free to ‘drop’ and ‘pick’ any other lawyer who gives you the best chance of winning the case before court.

You have to only have to inform the court about this change though so that they can know that the new lawyer that is standing before the court is doing so on your behalf. This will allow the court to give this new lawyer a copy of the court file so that they can be able to defend your case.

Remember, you still have to pay your old lawyer for the work that they did and if it is you who paid extra for work that the lawyer did not do, then you can ask for a refund.

Surgeons fined $60,000 and banned permanently from profession after billionaire died during penis enlargement surgery.

Surgeons have been banned from practicing plastic surgery after a billionaire patient died during a penis enlargement procedure. Belgian-Israeli diamond dealer Ehud Arye Laniado, 65, died of a heart attack during the procedure to enlarge his penis at the Saint-Honore-Ponthieu aesthetic clinic in Paris. His star surgeon, known as Guy H, was known for operating on wealthy clients and he treated Ehud two to four times a year in procedures costing tens of thousands of euros. Wealthy Omega Diamonds owner Ehud would be operated on out of office hours. He had been having injections into his penis to make it appear larger.
