Re: none responsive lawyer

If it's a court proceeding, have the attorney sign a substitution of attorney. After you sign it, file it with the court and send a copy to each other lawyer involved.

If there is no lawsuit pending, send whatever contact letter you wish to other counsel, explain that the friend no longer represents you, and mark the letter with a cc: to your former attorney.
