After having an attorney withdraw from a case
I fired my attorney and after the courts recognize my request and grant it can the attorney charge me for things he has done after the withdrawl? i.e. He sends me a letter saying I owe him ''x'' amount and then charges me for the letter, also, I call his office to ask if payment was recieved, he charges me for that call. Do I have any legal footing to refuse additional fees after the cout recognized the withdrawl? Thank you!

Take a look at your contract; however, generally speaking, once he has been discharged he cannot charge you for what he does thereafter.
