I am writing to respectfully request permission to substitute my current attorney of record with a new counsel in the above-mentioned case. Due to unforeseen circumstances and a breakdown in communication, I believe that a change in legal representation is necessary for the effective and efficient pursuit of my legal rights. I am currently represented by [Current Attorney's Full Name] in this matter. Since the initiation of this case, I have made multiple attempts to establish and maintain clear and open lines of communication with my attorney. However, these efforts have been met with consistent failures, causing significant delays and frustrations in the progress of my defense. Despite my repeated attempts to address these concerns with my current counsel, the issues have not been resolved, leading to an irreparable breakdown of trust and confidence. After careful consideration and extensive research, I have identified a new legal representative whom I believe is better suited to handle my case competently and diligently. I have retained [New Attorney's Full Name], an experienced attorney with particular expertise in [relevant area, e.g., criminal defense, personal injury, family law]. I have consulted with [New Attorney's Name] extensively, and I am confident that their knowledge, skills, and commitment to providing exceptional legal services will greatly benefit my case. Furthermore, I have already consulted with my new attorney, who has agreed to step in and assume the role of counsel of record in the present matter. [New Attorney's Full Name] has confirmed their availability and willingness to diligently represent my interests from this point forward. I understand that a motion for substitution of counsel requires the Court's approval. Therefore, I kindly request that the Court grant this motion and substitute [New Attorney's Full Name] as my new counsel of record. I assure you that this decision is driven by the need for effective legal support, improved communication, and the steadfast pursuit of justice. I am confident that this change will inject renewed enthusiasm and dedication into the progress of my case. Enclosed with this letter, please find the necessary documentation supporting this motion, including: 1. A copy of my executed retainer agreement with [New Attorney's Full Name]. 2. A signed statement of consent from [New Attorney's Full Name] to serve as substitute counsel of record. 3.

I kindly request that the Court set a hearing date to review this motion at the earliest convenience. Should the Court require any additional information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Phone Number] or [Email Address]. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
