You have a right to terminate the attorney's services at any time. Send the lawyer a written notice and instruct him to withdraw. You will then have to file what is called an additional appearance or have a new lawyer appear in the case.

You need to advise him that you no longer want to use his services. He will probably make you bring the bill current.

Yes to all your questions. Do your homework on the next attorney and make sure their expertise and "style" fits your needs.

You can terminate the relationship with the current attorney at any time by sending a letter. If you hire a replacement, the new attorney can help you with the transfer of the matter. The current lawyer does not need to release you, but he/she would have a lien on your file and papers until paid in full.

If you have an attorney simply fire him/her and hire a new one. Any money owed up to that point for services rendered would still be owed.
