Considerations When Withdrawing As Counsel For Nonpayment Of Fees - Above the Law
Courts may require permission for withdrawal in litigation, making the process time-consuming. Clients can sometimes pay in full after months of nonpayment, even close to a year after invoices were first generated, so immediate withdrawal can damage the attorney-client relationship. Courts are more likely to permit withdrawal when more time has passed and multiple ignored payment notices can be shown as served. Waiting too long can prejudice clients and other stakeholders, so withdrawal should not be delayed until a case is trial-ready. If a trial date is approaching, seeking withdrawal earlier can improve approval chances.
