Yes, you can switch lawyers at any time. However, ensure the new lawyer is informed about the previous extensions and the current status of the case to avoid further delays. You may need to pay the previous lawyer’s fees for services rendered.

I’m in Dubai and need to file a civil case in India against a customer who owes me around ₹75 lakhs for products I sold him.

Also, does it need to be notarized or attested?
