City / State / Zip Code Dear Client Name: In ance with Local Rule ______________, this letter shall serve a notice of our intent to withdraw from our representation of you in _______________________ case name, cause number. As you know, we are terminating our representation due to ________________________.
7 A lawyer may withdraw from representation in some circumstances. The lawyer has the option to withdraw if it can be accomplished without material adverse effect on the client's interests.
Be Clear: Be direct and get straight to the point. Clearly state that you are terminating the attorney and briefly state the reasons why. Additionally, the termination letter should state that the attorney should immediately stop working on any pending matters.
In representing a client, a lawyer shall not communicate about the subject of the representation with a person the lawyer knows to be represented by another lawyer in the matter, unless the lawyer has the consent of the other lawyer or is authorized to do so by law or a court order.
Send rejection letter. If taking on the client seems like too great of a risk, protect yourself by notifying the client in writing so there is no confusion about representation. Be polite but firm, and abundantly clear. Send the letter by certified mail and retain a copy for the firm's records.
Always terminate the relationship in writing. Even if you fire your attorney in a verbal exchange, you should follow up by sending a written termination letter. Be sure to send the letter by “certified mail with return receipt requested” so there's proof your lawyer received the letter.
When writing a withdrawal letter, aim to inform the employer immediately, be clear and honest about your reasons, thank the hiring manager for their time, include your contact details, and express interest in possible future opportunities if applicable.
Also, if after you hire an attorney you decide that you no longer want legal representation, you can send a basic letter to your lawyer directing him or her to immediately stop working on your case.
