Motion for Substitution of Counsel

One of the options to officially change one’s attorney. The other is a Notice of Substitution of Counsel. The difference is that the Notice merely informs the Court that a new attorney is now representing the client; a motion requires the Court to approve the change. This can lead to a several weeks’ delay until the new attorney takes over the case. For that reason, it is better to do it by Notice.
