Order Granting Leave To Withdraw As Attorney Of Record (Judge Laboda)

ORDER GRANTING LEAVE TO WITHDRAW AS ATTORNEY OF RECORD. This form is used by the Circuit Court of the Twentieth Judicial Circuit in Lee County, Florida, to grant an attorney's request to withdraw from representing a party in a civil case. The order permits the attorney or law firm to cease representation, making the party a pro se (self-representing) litigant. The pro se litigant must meet the same standards as an attorney and is responsible for understanding the relevant laws, rules, and court procedures. The party has 30 days to retain new counsel, during which all pending matters are temporarily stayed. If new counsel is not secured within this period, the party will continue pro se, except corporate entities, which must be represented by an attorney. The order sets dates for a pretrial conference, docket sounding, and trial period, and warns the party of potential sanctions for non-compliance, including dismissal of claims or adverse judgment. www.FormsWorkflow.com
