Legal Question in Criminal Law in Washington

I fired my attorney before the judge in a criminal case. My (former) representative immediately went over to discuss my case with the DA. Since I had dismissed the attorney before he counseled with the DA, I wish to know whether this is appropriate?

But certainly nothing you have said suggests anything inappropriate was taking place.
