Several months ago, I contacted an attorney about representing me for a civil case. While discussing options with him, I was also in discussions with the plaintiff and agreed to settle out of court. Meanwhile, the attorney filed a response on my behalf as well as a countersuit.
The plaintiff and I both want to drop our suits and countersuits, but the attorney representing me filed a continuance without my knowledge. My attorney is telling me they won't dismiss the case, nor can I fire them without meeting with them first.
What are my rights here? Can I fire them and then contact the court myself to dismiss my countersuit/
