A: Sorry to hear that you do not have a good relationship with your attorney. Fortunately you have the right to discharge your attorney at any time, for any reason. You can find a new lawyer using the Find a Lawyer tab on the JUSTIA homepage. Here's an article I found online through the NYC Bar Association that you might find useful, https://www.nycbar.org/get-legal-help/article/information-about-lawyers/problems-with-your-lawyer/
