Florida - Response to Motion to Witdraw

[STBXH]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida

I hired an attorney who agreed to represent me for a flat fee.
The flat fee includes all motions, meditations, etc up to trial.

I believe my attorney underestimated how many hours he would need to spend on my case and is now trying to get out of the case by filing a Motion to Withdraw.

How can I oppose the attorneys withdraw from the case?

Generally, you can't. Lincoln freed the slaves. What you can do to oppose is that you would suffer irreparable harm. The only way to show that would be if something is coming up soon that would be too hard for you to get alternate representation for in a timely manner. However, that would only delay things.

You would handle this as a fee dispute and may be able to prosecute a breach of contract case against him--but, it would depend on your retainer agreement.

Has the motion been filed yet? It would be helpful if you could provide the reasoning he gave.

OP needs to review his retainer agreement and see how it is stated. In addition, he needs to ask the attorney why the attorney is withdrawing.
