If the lawyer is a privately hired lawyer, then find another one, have them substitute as your boyfriends' lawyer. That will get the one lawyer out and a new one in. If it is the public defender, then your boyfriend needs to notify the court that he has a conflict with his lawyer and request an 'alternative defense counsel' lawyer. There probably will be a hearing about why he does not want to continue with the public defender.
If he wishes to fire all lawyers and represent himself, then he needs to notify the court of that, and there will be a hearing about whether he really wants to do that and the pitfalls of doing so, but he has a right to represent himself if he wants to.
