When your lawyer suddenly announces they’re closing their practice, it can feel like the floor just dropped out from under you. What happens to your case? Your documents? Your deadlines? Who do you call? What are you supposed to do next?

As an attorney who closed his practice after nearly a decade of representing clients, I’ve seen firsthand the confusion and anxiety people experience during this transition. That’s why I created this powerful, easy-to-read guide—so you never have to guess what to do when your attorney steps away.

Inside this e-book, you’ll discover:

✅ Why your attorney is not required to find you a new lawyer

✅ How to protect yourself by getting your file before the doors close

✅ What communication looks like once the practice is officially shut down

✅ Why not every lawyer will take your case—and how to prepare for that

✅ When the court has to approve a withdrawal and what it means for you

✅ How to avoid being blindsided by limited services and sudden deadlines

✅ Why the closure is rarely personal—even when it feels that way

Whether you’re currently represented, searching for a new lawyer, or simply want to understand how legal transitions work, this guide gives you the clarity, confidence, and practical tools you need to protect your interests.
