FAQ

Yes, you can fire your attorney even if you've signed a contract. As a client, you can terminate your attorney's services anytime, for any reason. However, there may be financial and legal implications to consider when doing so.

Typically, you should send the attorney written notice of termination of services unless the contract requires other types of notice. If the attorney has entered an appearance in a Court action, the attorney will be required to file a formal withdrawal as well.

To cancel a contract, take the following steps: Make sure you send the cancellation notice within the time allowed. Always cancel in writing. You can use the cancellation form or send a letter. Keep a copy of your cancellation notice or letter. Send your cancellation notice by certified mail, return receipt.

If your concerns are not resolved or if you have made the decision to terminate your attorney, you will need to provide a termination notice. This can be done through a formal written letter, clearly stating that you are terminating their services and the reasons behind your decision.

If you are having difficulty reaching the attorney or their office, you may want to try sending a certified letter to the attorney's office, stating your intention to cancel the agreement within the three-day period.

Always terminate the relationship in writing. Even if you fire your attorney in a verbal exchange, you should follow up by sending a written termination letter. Be sure to send the letter by “certified mail with return receipt requested” so there's proof your lawyer received the letter.

You can stop working with your lawyer, as you don't have a contract preventing you from doing so. Firing your attorney before a settlement pays out might not cut them out of the settlement entirely, though.
