If you are considering firing your current attorney, we encourage you to first call him or her, express your concerns, and try to work it out, if possible. Request a meeting, in person. Speaking to a new person (e.g., the managing attorney) at your current firm can often resolve the issues. If you’re not able to work it out, you are allowed to terminate their services and hire a new lawyer, but they may still be legally entitled to maintain an interest in your case, depending on a variety of facts. This is why we encourage everybody to do their best to work things out with their current attorney.
That depends on if they maintain an interest in your case. Most attorneys will maintain an interest, as that allows them to be compensated for work done on the file prior to release.
Good question...
