Re: How to fire your Lawyer?

Ask him, and if he doesn't give you satisfactory answer, get a copy of your file and fire him.

Clearly you need a new lawyer because he doesn't have your trust, so do both of you a favor, be straight with him then move on. he may need to report more to you, but even the best lawyers can't do good work if a client is harboring financial resentments--it's best to find someone you can trust or do the work yourself.
