Is it illegal for an attorney to step down from being my attorney without going up under a judge for a hearing? Is it illegal and what are some penalties?
If he has filed an appearance then he needs the judge to allow him to withdraw. If he has not filed an appearance he may withdraw without anyone's permission. If you have paid him, he is entitled to be compensated for the time he has put into your case and he must refund the difference. You really havent' provided enough facts for a more detailed answer.
