Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Client's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you that, regrettably, I must withdraw my representation in your legal matter. While it is unusual for an attorney to terminate their services during the course of a case, unfortunately, circumstances beyond my control have necessitated this decision. [Provide a brief explanation of the reason for withdrawal. For example: Following a recent assessment of my caseload, I have determined that I can no longer allocate the necessary time and resources to give your case the attention it requires. Additionally, a conflict of interest has arisen that poses a significant challenge to continuing my representation. It is not uncommon for lawyers to encounter conflicts of interest, and in these situations, it is considered ethically responsible to withdraw from the case.] I understand that this news may come as a surprise to you, and I apologize for any inconvenience or disruption it may cause. However, please be assured that my primary goal is to always act in your best interests. It is crucial for you to have an attorney who can dedicate their full attention and resources to your case, ensuring that your rights are protected and the outcome is in your favor. Given the circumstances, I believe it is in your best interest to seek alternative legal representation. [Offer assistance to facilitate a smooth transition. For example: I am committed to making this transition as seamless as possible. I am available to discuss the status of your case with any new attorney you engage and to provide them with all the necessary documents and information. I will also take care of promptly transferring any client funds or property that are in my possession to either you or your new attorney, as per your instructions.] Please note that upon withdrawal, I will no longer have the authority to act as your legal representative. Therefore, it is important that you promptly secure new representation and inform the opposing party and the court of this change. I strongly advise against attempting to proceed without legal counsel. [Express gratitude for the opportunity to represent the client. For example: I want to express my appreciation for the trust you placed in me by selecting me as your legal representative. It has been an honor and a privilege to work on your case until this point, and I am genuinely sorry that I am unable to see it through to its conclusion.] Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. I wish you the best of luck in resolving your legal matter swiftly and favorably. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Firm's Name] [Your Contact Information]
