What reasons can an attorney use to withdraw from representing a party in a Florida family law case? Bases for withdrawal are listed in Rule 4-1.16 of the Rules Regulating the Florida Bar. Usually, good cause must be shown, and this includes a failure of the client to pay for the lawyer’s services. Withdrawal of a lawyer was an issue in the case Elsawaf v. Eslawaf, 5D2023-0748 (Fla. 5th DCA May 10, 2024).
