Be sure, you have the absolute right to change your attorney even in the middle of an on-going case. So, don't be afraid as you may change your attorney if you need. For example, your attorney may withdraw from continuing with your case. And some circumstances can be important in determining whether your change has negative or positive consequences.
However, you have to understand carefully your rights in this matter. Moreover, you also have to know the probable implications of such a decision to your case's outcome.
It is important for a client to know that he has the absolute right to fire an attorney. And this is even without cause for doing so. But this right may also be exercised at any given time before the case is finished. A client can also enjoy this right even if the trial attorney has provided him with costly legal services.
So, there are may be many reasons for a client to fire the attorney. The following are some of them:
1. The attorney's discrepancy arising from conflict of interest
2. There also may be conflicts between the client and attorney's personalities
3. Differences in views and strategies over the case
4. Changes in the parties or pleadings involved in the case
5. Changes in the case's court hearing
6. Enlarge or growth in the legal needs.
In case attorney's representation of your case is violating from the professional rules of conduct, a responsible trial attorney needs to withdraw from handling a case. There are also cases when the attorney needs to withdraw. This is needed in case if attorney's mental condition has become materially impaired and he loses the capacity to represent you as client.
The reasons an attorney may withdraw from representing you may be different. This may be either the consent given by the client or conflicts of interest with the client. It is not excluded that there may be differences in strategizing of case. Failure of client to communicate, cooperate or carry out obligations; or failure of client to pay necessary attorneys fees; deceitful, immoral and criminal activity by the client may also be the reasons of withdrawing the case.
Moreover, the attorney must make sure that his decision to withdraw must not have an unpleasant effect on your case.
