You always have the right to retain counsel of your choice. Once you hire private counsel, they will notify/contact your court appointed attorney. Private counsel will usually file appointed counsel's notice of withdrawal along with private counsel's appearance. This is the smoothest transition so as to ensure a complete transfer of information from one attorney to another.
