EDCR 5.302

(a) Substituting a new attorney for a withdrawing attorney requires the written consent of both attorneys and the party, which must be filed with the court and served upon all parties.

(b) An attorney who seeks to withdraw from representing a client without substituting a new attorney in the case may only do so by order of the court if proceedings remain pending in the case.

(c) If no proceedings remain pending in the case, an attorney may withdraw by filing a notice of withdrawal.

(d) Every notice of withdrawal, motion to withdraw, and order granting withdrawal shall include the represented party’s last known address, email address, and telephone number, if any, and must be served upon all parties.

(e) Any substitution or motion for withdrawal of counsel that would result in a delay of a hearing or trial is disfavored.

(f) All attorneys withdrawing from a case shall remove their contact information from the service list for that case in the court’s electronic filing system. Should an attorney fail to do so, the court clerk’s office shall remove the contact information of the withdrawn attorney upon request by a party or the court.
