Write a termination of services letter to your attorney by indicating in the first paragraph that that you are ending the client-attorney relationship between you. Request that she stop working on any of your cases. Briefly state in the next paragraph the reason for the termination and ask her to send all your case files to you or to the new attorney you have hired. Sign, date and send the letter to the attorney through certified or registered mail.
Make arrangements with your attorney on how you will receive your case files either on your own or through your new attorney. Call or personally visit your local state bar association if the attorney refuses to hand over your files.
Pay the attorney any pending fee for services he has offered. Use any payment method that is suitable for both of you. Request the attorney to refund you any money he owes if you had made advanced payments and the work has not been done. This, together with the exchange of files, will mark the end of your agreement with the attorney
Notify the court of the termination by filing a notice of change of attorney in the courthouse if you have a court case. Request the forms from the court clerk, fill them in and notarize them in the presence of a notary such as an attorney or the court clerk.
