What happens if there is an objection to the attorney's withdrawal?

When there is an objection to an attorney's withdrawal, the court typically holds a hearing to assess the situation. This process allows the judge to consider the reasons behind the objection and the circumstances surrounding the attorney's request to withdraw from the case. During the hearing, both the attorney and the party objecting to the withdrawal can present their arguments. The goal is to ensure that the rights of the client are protected and that the withdrawal does not adversely affect the case's progression or the client's interests.

This procedure is vital in maintaining the integrity of the legal process, ensuring that clients are not left without representation in critical phases of their cases, especially if the withdrawal can lead to prejudice against the client. The outcome of the hearing will inform whether the attorney can withdraw or will need to continue representing the client until the situation is resolved satisfactorily for all parties involved.
