When a lawyer "withdraws as counsel" he/she is essentially resigning as the lawyer for that client in a particular lawsuit. Lawyers do not have full discretion to withdraw as counsel during litigation. Under some court's rules, when litigation reaches a particular statge, such as when a trial date is set, the lawyer may not withdraw without court approval which will be granted only on a showing of good cause.
