Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Judge's Name], I am writing to respectfully request a substitution of counsel of record in the case of [Case Name], currently pending before this honorable court. After careful consideration and consultation with my client, it has become clear that the interests of justice would be better served with a replacement of the existing counsel. First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to the court for the opportunity to represent my client thus far. However, due to unforeseen circumstances and irreconcilable differences that have arisen between myself and my client, it has become apparent that the relationship between attorney and client has deteriorated beyond repair. It is my professional duty to zealously advocate for my client's interests, but the current breakdown in communication and trust has created an insurmountable obstacle in fulfilling this obligation. In order to ensure the client receives the best possible legal representation, it is necessary to seek a substitution of counsel. The search for substitute counsel has already commenced. My client and I have carefully screened several potential candidates based on their expertise, experience, and compatibility with my client's legal needs. We have narrowed down the list to a few highly qualified attorneys who will be able to provide the level of representation required. To ensure an efficient transition, I commit to fully cooperate with the new counsel, including providing them with all case-related documents, files, research, and any other relevant information they may require. I understand the importance of a smooth transition in order to minimize any potential delay or prejudice to the client. In accordance with the guidelines set forth in the California Rules of Professional Conduct, I will also take all necessary steps to protect the confidentiality of my client's information during the transition process. I am willing to execute any appropriate confidentiality agreements to provide assurance in this regard. With due respect, I kindly request the court's approval of this motion for substitution of counsel of record. The interests of justice require that my client be represented by counsel with whom they can work effectively and trust implicitly. It is imperative that they have full confidence in their legal representative, especially during critical stages of litigation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the court will recognize the significance of this request and grant the motion for substitute counsel of record. Please do not hesitate to contact me if any additional information or documentation is required. Respectfully, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information]
