You don't give any details, but you can always release your lawyer. If your lawyer is court-appointed, you may need to file a Petition, asking for the lawyer to be released.
You will have to inform the Court as to whether or not you are going to get another lawyer. Be aware that the Court may decide NOT to continue any hearings you have coming up, and that you may be in a position of representing yourself, if you cannot replace the lawyer you fired. Also, generally, self-represented parties are expected to know the procedure rules and deadlines, just like a lawyer.

Assuming you are not in trial, then you can generally fire your lawyer for any reason. You'll have to pay him for the work done.
If you are in trial, the judge may not allow you to dismiss him - that'll depend on where you are with the case.
