Withdrawal Of Attorneys

(a) Notice of Withdrawal. An attorney's appearance for a party may only be withdrawn upon leave of court. Reasonable notice of the motion for leave to withdraw must be given by personal service, by registered or certified mail, or via a third-party commercial carrier providing a traceable delivery, directed to the party at the party's last known business or residence address. If the notice is undeliverable, the attorney must submit a declaration to the court reciting the efforts made to give notice. (b) Motion to Withdraw. The motion for leave to withdraw must be in writing and, unless another attorney is substituted, must state the last known address, e-mail addresses and telephone numbers of the party represented. (c) Withdrawal on Appeal. If a notice of appeal is filed in a matter, any attorney seeking leave to withdraw must file the motion with the supreme court clerk. (d) Limited Appearance. Rule 11.2(a), (b), and (c) do not apply to attorneys representing a party under a notice of limited appearance served under Rule 11.9 unless the attorney seeks to withdraw from the limited appearance prior to its completion. (e) Unfiled Cases. This rule does not apply to attorneys representing parties in civil actions that have not been filed with the court.
