What happens if I fire my divorce attorney?
You simply need to state that the representation isn’t working out, and that the lawyer should withdraw from the case. The lawyer will then have to receive permission from the court to withdraw from the case. Most often, the court will allow the withdrawal.
Does changing lawyers look bad?
If you change attorneys more than one time yes it can look bad. Changing once, while not great, isn’t as bad as people who change 3 and even more times. You should talk with your attorney about your concerns and try to resolve them before changing.
Can I hire more than one lawyer?
You are permitted to hire as many attorneys as you want (and can afford) to represent you in whatever manner you find suitable.
Is a more expensive lawyer better?

Wealthy clients can in general afford for an attorney to put in more hours on a case which certainly doesn’t hurt. A rich client can also afford to go to trial instead of settling or taking a plea.
