    Default Re: Trying to Stop Lawyer from Proceeding on My Case

    I did initially ask him to close my case, then after receiving another charge, I asked to terminate his employment. I have not heard a response on either email, and I am afraid to call him and incur further charges! I want to find another attorney. Can I do this and then have that person handle my former attorney?
    Also, is it ok to email my ex's attorney and inform him that he can direct further correspondence to me? I dont want to have mine do anything more that will incur further charges.

    The bolded is likely your whole problem. You don't terminate someone by email. It needs to be in writing by snail mail or personally delivered.
