hearings agreed to in my attorney client agreement. It’s a non compliance hearing for a dirty UA in treatment for DUI. Or, do I need the attorney to file a Motion to Withdraw and if so, can I have them withdraw for just this single compliance hearing. They want $500 I don’t currently have to represent me for this hearing so I’d like to represent myself for this hearing only and not jeopardize my private attorney appearing on my behalf when my deferment requirements are met that I paid for as part of the retainer. Thank you
The attorney can't withdraw for one hearing. Once he is on the case he is on the case BUT you can ask that attorney not to appear at a hearing and see if the Judge will accept your explanation of what you are dealing with however, Judges don't like to do this. Attorneys have a way to explain and talk to Judges that get the point across and getting to the heart of the matter because we have been doing if for years, day in and day out. Judges like to hear arguments from familiar voice. Good Luck
