I hope this is ok. TG, this was posted by Art's moderator at his board.

"I just wanted to let everybody know that Kim Picazio is no longer representing me or my family," Sheffield said. "I want everybody to know it from me and not other people. I just feel I needed to let everybody know that."
That is more proof for me personally not to trust AH or his sources, Cajun.![]()
South Florida attorney Kim Picazio was representing Sheffield pro-bono. She appeared on national television several times, claiming that some pictures were evidence that Haleigh had been abused.
DCF investigated those allegations against Haleigh's dad, Ronald Cummings, and now they've closed the case, saying they found no evidence of abuse.
Sheffield won't say why she's ending her relationship with her attorney.
"Personal things," she said. "I don't want to get into them."

It certainly sounds like she fired her to me! The article tries, imo, to make it sound like DCF investigation's final word played a key role in this decision, but maybe not.
I wonder what KP is going to come back with or if she will just go away now?
Crystal, if you are reading here, please stay on the LE in Putnam county daily. We all want Haleigh found....she has touched the hearts of many.

Does any know if Crystal is working? How is she going to continue to pay for the child support jmo but i hope it is not the donations as that i thought was going to be for the searchs for haleigh. and now that the foundations has changed names i am hoping that they will use the money for what they are saying it is for to search for haleigh and other missing children. TIA if anyone know the answers as i have been away from the forum for a while.,

Registered Agent Name & Address
GRIFFIS, MARIE
XXXXC MUD LAKE ROAD
GLEN ST. MARY FL 32040 US
Name Changed: 06/25/2009
Address Changed: 06/25/2009
I was wondering about the foundation for awhile. We heard in early June that it was moving to Baker County. It doesn't seem as if it has opened as of yet.
Interestingly enough, despite Kim only "withdrawing" yesterday, either having been fired or resigning, it seems that her departure from the case may have been in the works for a few weeks at least. I decided to take peek at the Haleigh Bug Foundation, Inc. records on Sunbiz.org, and saw something interesting:
Kim Picazio was the registered agent prior to the change that is listed on 6/25/09. Looks like Marie took over for her in late June. Guess the changes were coming for awhile.
As "Vice President" of a foundation, Crystal is entitled to draw a salary. However, I am curious as to if she is drawing a salary on a foundation that is not up and running at the moment? At least, the building is not open last I had heard. I imagine they wouldn't turn away donations if they were sent in, though. Wonder when the Center will reopen?
There is no requirement of any kind that a foundation be housed in a separate or specified building, or even within an office space within a building. Literally thousands of foundations are maintained and well-run out of a file cabinet in someone's dining room or from a box beside a kitchen table. Many are given space at a business which helps to promote and support the charitable efforts of that foundation. There is no reason to believe that there is even any money coming in to the foundation at this time from which anyone could possibly draw a salary. jmo
