Maine Substitution of Attorney is a legal process permitting a party in a legal action to replace or substitute an attorney who has been representing them with a different attorney. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as a conflict of interest, a disagreement between the attorney and the client, or the client’s financial inability to continue working with the existing attorney. There are two types of Maine Substitution of Attorney forms: one for civil cases and one for criminal cases. For civil proceedings, the party replacing the attorney must file a Substitution of Attorney form with the court. This form, which must be signed in front of a notary, must include the name of the party and the name of the attorney being replaced, as well as the name and contact information of the new attorney. For criminal proceedings, the party must submit a Motion and Order for Substitution of Attorney to the court. This form must include the name of the party, the name of the attorney being replaced, and the name and contact information of the new attorney.
