A. In General. An attorney of record in a case may be permitted to withdraw
from representation as counsel of record only by order of the court, or as
otherwise provided herein. This does not apply to situations where withdrawal
results in continued representation.
B. Withdrawal with Substitution. Leave of court is not required where a notice
of withdrawal is accompanied by a substitution of counsel, provided that said
substitution takes place 90 or more days in advance of trial, the substitution
contains a certificate by substituted counsel, and the substitution will not
delay the trial or other progress of the case. The notice of withdrawal and
substitution must set forth the name and address of the substituted and
withdrawing counsel. Withdrawal under this section will be effective upon
filing a notice of withdrawal and substitution. Notice of withdrawal must be
provided to the client by the withdrawing attorney.
C. Withdrawal Without Substitution. Withdrawal without substitution may be
granted only upon motion, for good cause shown. Notice of the motion must
be provided to the client by the withdrawing attorney.
