My lawyer is off the case and the defendant schedule a hearing. I am not so sure if I want to proceed with my Quiet Title because I don’t have all the documentation needed so I would like to close the case.

Perhaps, but I would not take the chance that it would be dismissed without prejudice, so that you can file another case when you have all the documentation. It is best to get another attorney.

You never want to skip a hearing. I do not know from the information provided what the hearing is for or the specific nature of the claims. If you are plaintiff, you may be able to voluntarily dismiss your case without prejudice to reopen later, but that may not be true in your case depending on different factors. Show up to the hearing or hire another attorney to assist you - it may be much cheaper than you expect if you shop around.
