  • Terminate lawyer and inform the court

    • You must notify attorney of your desire for 'consent to change attorney'. One person delivered it to attorney, without proof (signature of doing so) - and attorney said he never received the form.
  • Verbal= ore tenus. No ore tenus motions to withdraw. Must be in writing.
  • consent to change attorney form needs to be filed with the Clerk's office and served on the opposing side
