You want the truth. You can't handle the truth. Absolutely it is within your right to change attorneys. However, the court does not have to grant you any extensions thus placing you at a disadvantage.

If this is a workers comp case beware! There's a rumor that lawyers take payoffs from insurance company's to settle for less.

if he works at a firm, tell the firm you dont like how he is handling your case and you want someone else. If you dont like the entire firm, go to another one and tell the lawyer to hit the road.

yes you sure can.just tell the judge or whoever that you and your lawyer have a conflict of interest and you want another lawyer... i had a public defender yrs ago and he wasn;t even listening to what i had to say at all,i asked the judge and told him we didn;t see eye to eye,i got one and got the case dismissed,,,good-luck to you,.,.,

you can fire your lawyer at any time. You're gonna have to pay him unless you have a contingency fee worked out. But even if you do you might have to pay him something anyhow. But you can fire your lawyer at any time.

Unless you signed a contract with him, you should be able to fire him and get a new lawyer.

yes, there is no "law" that says you have to stick with a lousy lawyer.
If he is not doing what you want, yo are within your rights to fire him.
