If being jointly charge for something would both our cases get taken to 1 lawyer or wld it be between 2 lawyrs?

If you are asking about two people charged with joint participation in a crime, in most cases you need two lawyers. A lawyer would owe each client a duty a loyalty and cannot serve both properly. For instance, a lawyer for one person might get an offer from the DA for leniency for one if he will turn on the other and testify against him. The lawyer who represents both cannot extend that offer without acting contrary to the interests of the other, and cannot refuse to communicate the offer as that would violate the duty to the potential snitch.


At trial, each could benefit by pointing the finger at the other. At sentencing, each could claim that the other was more culpable. A single lawyer cannot effectively do that without violating a duty of loyalty.


The right to conflict-free counsel can be waived if both parties agree to be represented by a lawyer with a conflict.If being jointly charge for something would both our cases get taken to 1 lawyer or wld it be between 2 lawyrs?
Jointly charged means you are both being charged with same offense. You can both use the same lawyer, I do not recommend it. No matter how good of friends you are it only brings trouble. Get your own lawyer.If being jointly charge for something would both our cases get taken to 1 lawyer or wld it be between 2 lawyrs?
If you get a public defender it would be probably be 2, if you hire one it could be for both of you.
TWO!!!!
The question is to vague.
It would depend if there is a conflict of interest.
