Attorney Representation In Arizona

Summary

In Arizona probate cases, an associate attorney must file a substitution of counsel to represent a client after leaving a firm. A notice of change of affiliation alone is insufficient. Proper substitution requires client consent and court approval. A motion to strike can be filed if an opposing attorney is not the attorney of record. A good faith certificate is generally not needed for a motion to strike under Rule 12(b)(6). Always verify specific court requirements.
