Motion To Withdraw As Counsel

The motion requests to withdraw as counsel for the defendant for three reasons: 1) The attorney-client relationship was terminated due to the defendant's failure to meet with counsel and pay fees despite promises. 2) The defendant's lack of cooperation makes it difficult for counsel to fulfill obligations to defend the case. 3) Counsel respectfully requests the court allow withdrawal of appearance with the defendant's consent.
