You cannot fire the executor (fiduciary) of someone else's estate (will). That's not subject to your (or anyone else's) control. Only the court can assign or remove an executor.
However, if you believe the lawyer in question is not following the rules, or breaching their duty as executor (fiduciary), you can sue --- either in your own right as heir, or as guardian for your mother.

Sue him for breach of fiduciary duty
