Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

A client may almost always "fire" his/her attorney for any reason. A client wishing to do so might want to talk with the attorney first, then follow this up with a letter. (The attorney may not be free to "quit" without court approval, particularly if the case is close to trial).

Cases can be "dropped" or voluntarily dismissed if the plaintiff doesn't want to pursue it anymore. Note that the attorney still has rights to pay for time s/he already worked on your case and may have a lien against proceeds if the client anticipates some recovery.
