check with an incoming attorney in your state what the
applicable law is in such a situation. the laws and
regulations regarding attorney discharge vary from state to
state and your question cannot be adequately answered on here
by anyone who is not familiar with the applicable laws in
your particular state. in addition, you also may be liable to
pay for the attorney's fees on a quantum meruit basis if the
case was taken on contingency.

Good luck
