Firing a Lawyer

[mandi]

We are planning to fire our present lawyer because we have finally found the right family law attorney.  And I was wanting to get some advice on how to go about firing the one.  Does anyone have any advice or some sort of sample letter?  Your advice and comments would be appreciated.  

Thanks!!
