Once you’ve decided that firing your lawyer is the right choice, take the following steps:
Follow any procedures for firing the lawyer as described in your legal services contract.
Send a letter to your lawyer’s office stating that you’re ending the relationship. Request that your old lawyer forwards your case file to your new lawyer. Include your new team’s contact information.
You may have to notify the court that you’ve changed counsel if you’ve begun the process of a lawsuit. You can ask your new lawyer about any paperwork that may need to be submitted.
There may be other steps that you’ll want to take when you fire your lawyer. Your new legal team can give you more recommendations on how to execute this switch as smoothly as possible.
