DIAMOND v. AMRITPAL

CASE NO.:  22NWCV01563

HEARING:  11/14/24

#3

Sydney M. Desman, Esq.; and Engstrom, Lipscomb & Lack’s unopposed motion to withdraw as counsel of record for Plaintiff RETHA DIAMOND is GRANTED.  

Moving Party to give notice.

No Oppositions filed as of November 12, 2024.  

The Court finds that Counsel has met the procedural requirements, including proper notice to the client at the last known residence or business address of the client.  C.R.C. 3.1362.

Here, there is an apparent breakdown of the attorney-client relationship. Where the issue (or conflict) is between the lawyer and client(s), without implicating other parties, the court can rely on counsel’s sworn declaration absent any reason to doubt the representations.

There is an undisputed breakdown in attorney-client communications. It does not appear that the Attorney Desman’s continued representation would serve the interests of justice. The motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
