Yes, you have the option of changing lawyers. However, you will owe the original lawyer for the work he has performed to date (for instance, taking depositions, filing pleadings, answering discovery, appearing at hearings and pre-trial conferences).

Best of luck.*****The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.********
