Q: Regarding attorney dismissal can I prepare the letter and proof of service I have submitted a letter to all parties but
The attorney I want to dismiss stated "our judge has to approve it and she loves him and won't " his words in an email and text. I live in Arizona so I need to travel to Los Angeles in order to give to the court a copy of proof of service. I already gave a copy of the letter to them. If the case is settled and awarded in 2016 as he states why would I need an attorney.
A:
Your question is unclear, but apparently the judge is in Los Angeles, California, so you should have asked this question in Justia › Ask a Lawyer › California ›. But no, you wouldn't have to travel to L.A. to get the proof of service to the judge; simply mail it to the clerk of court.
In any state in the U.S., if you want to get your attorney off of a case, normally you can.
