Question

can you file a lawsuite against a public affender for poor repentation



Answer

No. If you are dissatisfied with your representation, and you have been convicted, the proper procedure is to file a "Strickland" appeal, alleging ineffective assistance of counsel. If you have not yet been convicted, you can hire a new attorney, if you have the money.
