Question

I know that im right about my case,and have the evidence to back up what i say .I told my lawyer this morning before court that if it goes the other way that I wanna an appaeal and seek an change of venue. my lawyer is trying to get out of it

Answer 1

Change of venue can be one of the more complicated areas of law. In almost every jurisdiction, you waive your venue argument after the first hearing (first hearing or appearance at which an order is entered). You cannot change venue after trial.



While I am glad that you are confident of your case, I suspect the attorney does not share your optimism.

Answer 2

You can seek a change of venue, however most times it isn't granted. If the evidence is against the judge, you can have your lawyer as the judge to recuse themselves(remove themself) from the case. You do certainly have the right to an appeal, you can also fire your lawyer and get a new one. I would advise you to have an attorney present if you are going to try getting a change of venue. They would know more about it then you will.

Answer 3

If you have hired a lawyer then you should ask him why you can't ask for a change of venue??



Is the venue proper? Did the occurence that led to this lawsuit happened in this county or state? If not then is there a better place to hear the lawsuit.



You need to expound more on why you think there should be a change of venue.
