Attorneys: MOTION TO WITHDRAW AS COUNSEL

2091-1(a):  Attorneys: MOTION TO WITHDRAW AS COUNSEL

LBR 2091-1(a) provides a procedure for an attorney to withdraw as counsel, and that withdrawal results in the client no longer being represented by an attorney.  The former client is now considered to be a "Self-Represented Party".

Sometimes a client agrees to become a Self-Represented party.  Other times, the client has not agreed.

  • Regardless, in both situations, a motion is required -- the court does not have a form motion.
  • A hearing is not required, but the attorney must file a Notice of Motion for Order Without Hearing under LBR 9013-1(p)
  • The court has a form notice.  See link below.
