More details to this question:
Can we get a different attorney and have our case moved to another location under a different Judge if we notice favoritism towards our opponent and our attorney is doing a poor job? This is a property dispute case in which we own the property and the property is being taken away from us by spouse of family member that passed away.

You have the right to fire your attorney at any time, but you would have to show a lot more than just a general statement of "favoritism" to get a new judge. Also, even if you got a new judge, there appears to be no basis for changing the venue where the matter is being heard.
