You can legally fire your attorney. However, you may owe them a bill, and if you are in the middle of legal proceedings, depending the state you're in, and the type of case, you may have to settle with them, or allow a third-party lien from the attorney on any settlements you might have coming for expenses and time that he has invested. You can check with your local Bar Association for that type of information. Unless he or she has failed in their duty to you, then you can fire them and file a grievance against them with the state Supreme Court.

It all depends on the contract you signed at the beginning of the case.
Usually, all you have to do is to inform your attorney in writing. Simply tell him/her that you will no longer be needing his/her representation. Expect to receive a bill for the services rendered so far.

Of course...you are paying for his services; he is working for you. You can even fire a court appointed attorney (public defender)

Yes you can, you will need to tell them and if you are in the middle of a trial or another legal problem, you will need to tell the Judge so he/she can tell the other party involved.

Yes you can fire your attorney as long as you did not sign any kind of contract with them.
Just say "you're fired".

write your lawyer a letter stating that you no longer want his services and release him or her from your contract with them. You will not be entitled to a refund of any retainer fee you may have payed to them.

"Your Fired" - And be prepared for the bill for any services rendered up to that point.
