There is no limitation to change the advocate during the pendency of the suit, you can change an advocate at any time. If you want to change an advocate, your present advocate will have to endorse on the vakalat as " No objection" if he is not ready for that then you will have to issue notice to termination to that advocate.

there is no limit of changing lawyers, but it is advisable that such a decision shall not be taken in haste....
but if you are not satisfied, get NO OBJECTION from the previous counsel and engage another one...

each lawyer has his own style of functioning . frequent changes of advocate may boomerang on you . however if services are not satisfactory obtain NOC from earlier advocate and file fresh vakalatnama of new advocate . please settle his bills first

You can change the advocate any number of times.
But, by frequently changing your advocate, you will be wasting your time in updating him the case details.
Of coarse it is a loss of money.

I am really happy Anonymous was only asking for changing the Advocate, for whatsoever reason.
Last week, one client approached me and asked whether there is any way whereby he can have the Judge changed - since he is not satisfied with the Judge! I explained to him a small story, where the Manager was under constant trouble because some time the driver said that the vehicle's break has to be changed; sometimes the headlight has to be changed; some times the corborattor; sometimes, the front tyres; some times the back tyre; some time the wiper; some times the crank shaft; sometimes the steering wheel etc. Ultimately, the Manager said that everything would become allright once we change the Driver! I politely advised the client to change his Attitude instead of trying to change anything else.
Compared to the person who wants a Judge to be changed, Anonymous is far better - he is only wanting to change the Advocate for certain reasons.
