If you are dissatisfied with your current attorney you should seek a second opinion from another attorney. If you wish you change the venue you should meet with an attorney in the county where you want to transfer the case to, that attorney should give you advice on how to best handle a request to transfer venue.
A request to transfer the venue is generally a motion that is filed in the court, it will generally only be granted if neither party lives in the county where the action has been filed, or you can prove there is some other compelling reason that venue is more proper in another county. If you have already been litigating this matter it court, you may not be able to change the venue at this juncture.
