can a shitlaw attorney (contingency case) fire the client for any reason, ethically or under a typical engagement letter?

Fuck yes. That should be in the engagement letter:

"I can fire your ass if you annoy the shit out of me, faggot"

under the model rules, it seems like no materilly adverse affect to client is enough:

(b) Except as stated in paragraph (c), a lawyer may withdraw from representing a client if:

. . . .

(5) the client fails substantially to fulfill an obligation to the lawyer regarding the lawyer's services and has been given reasonable warning that the lawyer will withdraw unless the obligation is fulfilled;

(6) the representation will result in an unreasonable financial burden on the lawyer or has been rendered unreasonably difficult by the client; or

(7) other good cause for withdrawal exists.

---------------------

If you can't figure out a way to withdraw, you're probably not competent to be a lawyer in the first place -- and that means you have to withdraw.

Problem solved.
