Is it possible to hire a limited power of attorney for my son who is using a public defender.?
My son has a public defender to represent him in a robbery case and he is in jail. I don't think public defenders are good but we all can't afford an attorney for him. I want to know that the public defender is doing everything he can possibly do for my son. Is it possible to hire a limited power of attorney and how much can they do?
I know it is a document. I guess what I was trying to say was hire someone to act as the person since his case his handled by a public defender and they are so unreliable even at talking to a client in jail such as my son. I needed to know what kind of power a person could have on his behalf.

A limited power of attorney is not a person. It is a document in which a person can't some limited power to act on his behalf to another party. For example - if your son was selling his home, but was out of the country, he could give you power of attorney to sign the documents for him.
