Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New Jersey

Re: substitution of attorney

The court rules govern the substitution of attorney in civil and criminal matters. Generally, a document known as a Substitution of Attorney is signed by the current attorney of record and the attorney is being the attorney of record indicating their consent to said substitution.

After a trial date has been set substitution of attorney must be accomplished with the approval of the trial judge; the filing of a motion for same may be required.

Call me if you like.

Re: substitution of attorney

The rules are somewhat complicated and it depends on the stage that the litigation is in. Up until the time the case has a trial date, it is generally given freely by the court when the case is in suit. Pre-suit it can happen anytime.
