When clients violate their obligations to counsel or fail to cooperate with counsel, in matters civil or criminal, counsel may withdraw after notice to all involved, so long as withdrawal is without prejudice to any scheduled hearing or trial, and with approval of the Court. If such request is denied because of the pendency of a hearing or trial in its docketing and disposition of cases, the request to withdraw may be renewed as soon as that scheduled hearing is completed. Counsel may withdraw any time another attorney is ready and able to proceed without delay after new counsel enters his/her general appearance therein.

No attorney shall be permitted to withdraw as counsel of record, after having made general appearance in a case solely because the client has failed to comply with pecuniary request. Before withdrawal is allowed by the Court, applying counsel shall show: (1) notice to the client of intended withdrawal; (2) ability of the client to comply; and, (3) willful failure to do so.
