What must accompany a motion to withdraw if the client does not consent?

When a process server or attorney wishes to withdraw from representing a client and does not have the client’s consent, the appropriate step is to submit a proposed withdrawal order along with the motion to withdraw. This proposed order outlines the request for withdrawal and allows the court to evaluate and decide on the motion formally.

The requirement for a proposed withdrawal order ensures that the court understands the circumstances surrounding the withdrawal and can make an informed decision. This process is crucial in maintaining proper legal protocols and protecting the interests of all parties involved in the case. It establishes a formal basis for the withdrawal, which is especially necessary when consent from the client is absent to safeguard the client's rights and preserve the integrity of the judicial process.
