Rule 5.4. Time Limits for Withdrawal by Attorney
On any motion to withdraw on a pending felony case where there is not substitute counsel, an order setting hearing should be provided. The Defendant should be given notice of the hearing date, including a provision that failure to appear for the hearing may result in the issuance of a bench warrant. If a hearing date or trial date is pending, withdrawal will not be allowed prior to the hearing or trial without a showing of good cause. “Good cause shown” does NOT necessarily mean that the attorney has not been paid.
