Re: Attorney withdrals

The Court will appoint an attorney for you or will allow you to hire another attorney. If the court has just granted your attorney's motion to withdraw it seems unlikely that you will be selecting a jury on Friday. Two days is not enough time for your new attorney to properly prepare for trial. Good luck.
