Re: lawsuit filied in civil procdure attorneys want to withdraw
In New York, a corporation cannot appear in court pro se. In other words, you would have to have a lawyer.
Your attorney may have acted unethically and may have prejudiced your interests with the court. There is no way we can tell that from here.
You should consult with other local counsel, who would be able to study the letter that was sent to the judge, review the retainer agreement and the totality of the circumstances.
