S.D. Ohio Crim. R. 83.4
Withdrawal or Substitution of Counsel in a Criminal Case
(a) An attorney of record may not withdraw, nor may any other attorney file an appearance
as a substitute for an attorney of record, without first providing written notice to the
client and all other parties and obtaining leave of Court. However, attorneys from the
same firm or governmental agency may file and serve a notice of appearance or
substitution for an attorney of record without obtaining leave of Court.
(b) The trial attorney in a criminal case, whether retained or appointed, is responsible for
continued representation of the client on appeal until specifically relieved by the Sixth
Circuit Court of Appeals. (See 6 Cir. R. 12.) The trial attorney must consult with his
or her client as to whether the client wishes to appeal. If the client wishes to appeal,
the trial attorney shall file a notice of appeal and assist the client in preparing any other
necessary filings to proceed on appeal.
