Legal Question in Family Law in California

withdrawl of attorney

I currently have an attorney that I fired for conflict of interest. He and my ex's attorney share an office suite and there were several things I felt were not ethical. When I questioned them, he sent a letter firing me and told me I needed to send a signed substitution to him by a certain date or he would force a withdrawl. I sent a letter firing him with the reasons and a signed sub certified mail. He returned it unopened and told me that his office does not accept certified mail. I faxed the signed sub to him and asked he call me. His paralegal left a message that I was harrassing them and to send the signed sub through the regular mail. I have sent them mail before that they never received. The opposing attorney is the one that picks up the mail for the office. How can I just get rid of this attorney. His bill is paid up to date and I have a letter that I was not going to be charged for past work and have not received a bill for it. I fear that he is still talking to my ex's attorney and representing me and telling him confidential info. I have an assessment coming up and he refuses to submit the signed document and withdraw from my case so I can represent myself. What can I do to remove him by myself from the case?
