I found Gowon on MetLife and we were doing uncontested divorce. Initial call was lengthy, but soon after being retained, she starts replying slower. About 3 months in, I emailed her saying we may be ready to do contested divorce, and she immediately asked me to find another lawyer and release her, saying she's too busy with casework. I said I was not sure if it'll be contested. I did not release her. About 2 months later, I confirm with her this will be uncontested, but now, she does not reply to my emails nor my spouse's attorney emails. I've emailed her to get her clarification on whether she'd like to voluntarily withdraw from representing me, and that email has no reply. She also I can't help but feel ignored and abandoned. I will be filing a formal complaint with the California bar for client abandonment. She also says if I don't submit a Substitution of Attorney form, she'll file a motion in court against me "seeking permission to withdraw and ask that my fees & costs for preparing the motion and going to the hearing be paid by you." In my interpretation she is threatening to sue me for legal fees.
