Help!

I’m a first-time buyer about to go into contract this week. My attorney, who was recommended through a friend, is not the best at responding quickly to emails. I have had to learn about what she’s been doing from the seller’s broker. Apparently, she’s been doing her due diligence and is responsive to the seller’s broker and attorney. Contract is going out today but I am frustrated with her as I find this whole process nerve-wracking and want an attorney who is responsive to all of my questions quickly. I have a back-up attorney who is willing to take over and run with it and told me he is there to answer any and all questions. Can I ditch the current attorney and switch things over to the new attorney? Would it be stupid to do that now – my main goal is to be in K by Friday so it might be dumb to switch mid-stream since they are already working on it.

Thanks all.
