Christina Haack pulled the big guns by firing Dearmey Law APC and hiring 'Disso Queen' Laura Wasser to represent her in her divorce battle against estranged third husband Josh Hall.
'Christina was not happy with the progress or lack thereof,' a source told Us Weekly on Monday.
'She decided to go with the best divorce attorney out there to try and wrap this up quickly and fairly.'
The 41-year-old interior designer officially filed a change of attorney with the Superior Court of California in Orange County last Friday.
The 56-year-old Wasser, Cooperman & Mandles partner has previously repped celebs like Angelina Jolie, Ryan Reynolds, Britney Spears, Johnny Depp, Gwen Stefani, Kim Kardashian, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Garner, Kevin Costner, Heidi Klum, and Maria Shriver.
Laura told The Helm in 2019 of her $25K retainer and $900/hour rate: 'I have no shame in asking for that amount. When I look at what my colleagues are charging, I think it's a deal.'

The 44-year-old Foundry Group realtor - who allegedly 'turned down a seven-figure plus settlement' - filed for divorce from Christina on July 16 after less than three years of wedded bliss.
Haack did not have a prenup with Josh, who's asking for alimony and 'all rights to any HGTV and/or Discovery Network shows or specials they produced' including Christina in the Country, Christina on the Coast, and The Flip Off - according to TMZ.
'When someone is insecure by you and doesn't like to watch you win, that really puts a damper on everything,' the Anaheim-born blonde lamented to ET on November 15.
'I feel like I was not shining as bright, to try to not make him feel emasculated. But who wants to live like that? It was not fun, to be honest. I did not enjoy filming with him, so having split up made this, to be honest, so much easier and so much better in every way.'
On Sunday, Christina flaunted her slim 5ft9in bikini body in vacation snaps from her girls trip to Punta Mita, Mexico earlier this month.
Haack - who boasts 1.8M Instagram followers - captioned her slideshow: 'Scorpio season was good to me.'
The Christina & Kylie co-founder also posted a selfie with her nine-year-old son Brayden James El Moussa and five-year-old son Hudson London Anstead.
Christina also mothered 14-year-old daughter Taylor Reese El Moussa during her seven-year marriage to ex-husband Tarek El Moussa, which amicably ended in 2018.
Indeed, Haack has had no issues filming with her 43-year-old ex-husband #1 and his second wife Heather Rae as well as her ex-husband #2 Ant Anstead on the set of HGTV's The Flip Off.
The Christina Collection Flooring founder the 45-year-old Englishman - now dating Oscar winner Renée Zellweger - ended their 21-month marriage in 2021.
