Yes. The key thing is that she has not yet filed the Complaint, so if she decides to no longer represent you, there is no "predjudice", no actual harm to your case. There is an attorney-client relationship as between you, but the matter is not yet before any court, so if she closes her file, it's just between the two of you.
