Under Ohio law, you have the absolute right to fire your attorney for any reason or for no reason at all.
Simply send your attorney a discharge letter and demand that your complete original file be given to you.
Your attorney may assert a claim for fee for the work performed. There are certain rules for demanding such fees.
In your letter, give your attorney a 7-10 day time frame to comply. If he does not do so, then call your local bar association and file a complaint. Sometimes the local bar counsel, upon receipt of a complaint, may intercede to get the issue resolved.
