Re: fire an attorney

1. Ask your present PD how to get another assigned;

2. If that doesn't work, contact your PD's supervisor and tell him/her;

3. If that doesn't work, write to the Judge and request that another PD be assigned.

You will have to provide a good reason for wanting a new PD; you don't get one just because you want one.
