ATTORNEY REPRESENTING FOLK WHO HAD FAKE WILL TOSSED OUT

Question:

In 2012, a Judge ruled that a fake "Will" that was supposedly found by (3) people was invalid.  Though the deceased died in the 1990's, this "will" was submitted to an O&G Company that led to a Lease Agreement.

Low and  behold, it was discovered that these folk are not tied to the property at all and have no legal claim to it.  However, the Attorney who represented these people will not remove himself from the case.  Until he does, I am having a difficult time moving forward.  Though these folk committed fraud and lost their case, why would not this Attorney remove himself?  Is this legal?  Can he do this?  

Please advise.

TIA.

LN,  I'm an old man, and so your story reminds me of the numerous times I've seen old people get dementia and/or angry, bitter, spiteful at family and then give the inheritance away to strangers. Most of the time, the family hires a lawyer to have the will declared invalid due to dementia (insanity). Leona Helmsley is a perfect example.  Wish you well.
