Hello, if permitted under the retainer you signed, an attorney can either remove him or herself from a case and or request that you release them from the contract. At this point, you should start looking for an attorney that will be willing to take over your case so that you do not lose out in defending your rights. You should negotiate the current balance of your retainer and see if they will be willing to refund it so you can use it to pay a new attorney. Feel free to contact my office and speak with a case manager at 1 877-866-8665 or email help@smsattorneys.com maybe we can assist you within your budget.
