Options:
- Lawyer files motion to withdraw
- Terminate lawyer and inform the court

- If attorney doesn't respond, you are paying for it: judge orders the attorney to explain himself in court, and you get to foot the bill
- You must notify attorney of your desire for 'consent to change attorney'. One person delivered it to attorney, without proof (signature of doing so) - and attorney said he never received the form.
- Verbal= ore tenus. No ore tenus motions to withdraw. Must be in writing.
