First of all, look at the retainer agreement that you may have signed when your hired your lawyer. Typically, these agreements will set out certain duties and responsibilities of the client. By signing the agreement, you are contractually bound to abide by them. Such duties and responsibilities may include:
Being truthful with your lawyer
Being cooperative with and responsive to your lawyer
Being available to your lawyer and attending legal proceedings, as requested
Paying your legal bills in a timely manner
These duties and responsibilities are pretty common sense, so they may be implied even without a retainer agreement that expressly reduces them to writing. Regardless, a failure to abide by them may result in a lawyer deciding to terminate your client relationship
