[josfamilylaw]

You can fire your attorney at any time you want in California. Some special cases may require approval from the court, but generally speaking, changing attorneys during a case is nothing extraordinary. However, it's always prudent to examine the consequences of your case and finances before you dismiss the services of your lawyer.

There are several reasons why you may want a change of legal representation. Whether you lack confidence in your attorney's abilities or feel that they lack ethics or promptness, you can fire your attorney if you're unhappy with their services.

But when is it too late to fire your attorney?

Let's discuss this in detail.

**Firing your Attorney may Cause Issues in your Case. **

You can fire your attorney at any time you wish to. But it's important to understand the reason behind it. Will hiring a new attorney make a significant difference to your case? How will switching attorneys mid-way affect your case?

Changing your family law attorney may lead to several issues, depending on the progress of your case. A new attorney will take time to review all documents and evidence before they represent you. They'll also have to understand your legal goals and develop a strategy accordingly. All this can potentially increase the time and cost of your case, while also prolonging your overall litigation.

Your attorney should instill trust and confidence in you. They're managing your case and pursuing your goals that affect your family and future. If you think they're unethical, dishonest, not prompt, or lack any real care for your situation, you have the right to hire a new attorney.
