Terminating legal representation is a client’s prerogative. This action, permissible at virtually any point in a case, involves formally ending the agreement between a client and their attorney. While a client has the right to seek different counsel, understanding the appropriate steps is crucial for a smooth transition and to protect their legal interests.
Exercising the right to change legal representation ensures that clients maintain control over their case. This control allows clients to align their legal strategy and personal needs. Furthermore, a change can be beneficial when a client feels unheard, experiences a breakdown in communication, or recognizes an incompatibility between the attorney’s approach and their objectives.
