Question

I'm a new attorney. I've been asked to take over a case because the client is not happy with their current attorney. I'm in a situation where I don't have any other local attorneys to talk to and I'm trying to figure out what I need to file to enter an appearance as the new attorney of record or if its considered a "substitution" of counsel...?

Answer

Last time I was replaced, the new attorney just entered a one page substitution of counsel. I've never done it myself.
