Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Can My Attorney fire ME?

I am currently in the middle of a divorce/child support dispute. My case is pending before a judge. The communication between my attorney ( who I have a signed contract with) and myself has broken down and I have lost faith in her ability to represent me. When I expressed my concerns to her she stated that should stop working on my account. I told her I wanted time to think the situation over and she advised me ''that is not how it works. I will do no more work on your file''. Can she stop representing me? Do I have an legal recourse against her for all the money she has billed me to date?

Yes, she can quit (and withdraw from your case).

She has the right to charge you for the work she's already done.
