Can i change the lawyer after sending a legal notice from mother lawyer

Hi,

I have appointed an advocate for sending a legal notice for a marriage dispute case, lawyer had initially said one amount do sending a legal notice, I have paid that amount all the time has been consumed and he had drafted the notice now he is demanding more amount for sending that notice.

Now I don't have chance as a lot of time has been consumed and ready to pay and asked what could be the approximate fees if the case has been taken to court and the third party don't come for mutual consent , he is not saying anything and saying let's see now, I am scared don't know how much he gonna ask.

Now if I send legal notice with this lawyer and for for court proceedings can I change the lawyer if so what is the procedure and do I have to pay any fees to my old lawyer
