What is free legal support in asylum cases?
It includes the appointment of a free lawyer by the state to defend the asylum seeker in the asylum case.
This support is provided to beneficiaries who cannot afford the costs of a private lawyer.
Can I replace the free lawyer?
Yes. You have the right to request a replacement of the free lawyer at any time during the case, for objective reasons such as:
-
Being dissatisfied with the level of legal representation.
-
Poor communication with the lawyer.
-
Differences in legal strategy.
-
Loss of trust or personal conflicts.
How can I submit a request to change the lawyer?
Submit a formal request to the court or the office/law firm handling the legal support, explaining why you want the change.
You can submit the request orally during a hearing or in writing.
A judge reviews your request, and it is often accepted if the reason is justified.
Does requesting a change affect the case process?
No. As long as it is done legally, it does not affect the progress of the case or the asylum seeker’s legal rights.
What should you do after changing the lawyer?
-
Cooperate with the new lawyer directly and clearly.
-
Provide them with all previous documents and information.
-
Follow up on hearing dates and legal meetings.
Conclusion
Changing a free lawyer in asylum cases is a guaranteed right that ensures you receive legal representation that fits your needs and circumstances.
Do not hesitate to request a change if you feel the current representation does not sufficiently protect your interests.
