TENTATIVE RULING

Lukas I. Pick, Esq. and Pick Law’s unopposed motion to withdraw as counsel of record for Plaintiff YOLANDA SAENZ is GRANTED.  

Moving Party to give Notice.

No Opposition filed as of December 27, 2023.      

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, Counsel’s declaration indicates that there has been a 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 Pick Law’s continued representation would serve the interests of justice. The motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
