How to remove an attorney from my case

Hello Amber, Thankfully it's a fairly straightforward process. Most attorneys who have a client who wishes to fire them do not wish to remain on the case regardless as clearly there is an issue with the attorney-client relationship that could hinder the attorney's ability. Some courts may have a form that you can use, but essentially you would just need to file a Motion for Withdrawal with the Court. While these are normally submitted by the attorney, the Court will consider a Motion filed by the client as well. However, if you're planning on getting a new attorney, it may be easier and better to first hire the other attorney and they would simply draft and file a Motion for Substitution of Counsel instead. Webb County has a form template for criminal cases where the attorney is the one that filed the Motion, but you can likely use it as a guide for what your Motion needs to include: https://www.webbcountytx.gov/DC111th/Forms/Criminal%20-%20Motion%20To%20Withdraw%20Atty.pdf. The key thing your Motion needs to include are the style at the top (the "case heading"), the title stating it's a Motion for Withdrawal, that you no longer wish to have your attorney representing you in the case, and your signature. Keep in mind that after filing it with the Court, you do have to provide copies to your attorney as well as the other side/their attorney. Best,James M. Ringel
