    The legal counsel for the plaintiff Crumbs Corporation has filed a motion to withdraw from the case. The counsel terminated the attorney-client relationship with Crumbs Corporation because the plaintiff was pursuing an unjust or immoral course of conduct. As the counsel can no longer adequately fulfill obligations to the plaintiff, withdrawal is allowed under the rules when a client pursues an illegal or immoral course.

    MOTION TO WITHDRAW AS COUNSEL

    COMES NOW, the undersigned counsel, unto the Honorable Court,


    most respectfully states:
    1.That the undersigned counsel has already terminated his attorneyclient relationship with the Plaintiff, Crumbs Corporation, particularly
    because of the latter's pursuance of an unjust or immoral conduct of
    the case;
    2. That in view of the foregoing reasons, the undersigned counsel
    could no longer adequately fulfill his obligations as legal counsel for
    the said Plaintiff;
    3. That Rule 22.01- A lawyer may withdraw his services in any of the
    following cases: a) When the client pursues an illegal or immoral
    course of conduct in connection with the matter he is handling;
    4. That there is a need to protect the members of the legal profession
    from clients who take advantages of their professional services. In
    fact, the Honorable Supreme Court had the occasion to state that:
    "Counsel, any counsel, if worthy of his hire, is entitled to be fully
    recompensed for his services. With his capital consisting solely of his
    brains and with his skill, acquired at tremendous cost not only in
    money but in the expenditure of time and energy, he is entitled to the
    protection of any judicial tribunal against any attempt on the part of
    the client to escape payment of his fees. It is indeed ironic if after
    putting forth the best that is in him to secure justice for the party he
    represents, he himself would not get his due. Such an eventuality this
    Court is determined to avoid. It views with disapproval any and every
    effort of those benefited by counsel's services to deprive him of his
    hard-earned
    honorarium.
    Such
    an
    attitude
    deserves
    condemnation."(Albano vs. Coloma, 21 SCRA 411).
    5. As such, undersigned most respectfully requests that he be
    allowed by this Honorable Court to withdraw his appearance in this
    case as Counsel for the Plaintiff, Crumbs Corporation, without the
    latter's express conformity.
    PRAYER
    WHEREFORE, premises considered, undersigned counsel most
    respectfully prays that he be allowed to withdraw his appearance in
    this case as counsel for the Plaintiff, Crumbs Corporation, dispensing
    with the latter's express conformity, and that he be relieved of all his
    responsibilities relative to this case.
    Other reliefs just and equitable under the premises are likewise
    prayed for.
    Muntinlupa City, Philippines, on the 8th of October, 2015.
