Dropping a client is not “criminal”. Attys do it all the time. Most attys would have done the same with a client who is acting like this. They did nothing wrong.
Of course dropping a client is not criminal and it happens all the time. You obviously missed my point. The point was that dropping a client for not being in touch for 48 hours in these circumstances is a BS excuse and may be malpractice.
Every attorney has a a duty to zealously represent their client once they take them on. Attorneys MAY withdraw but it has to be for good cause AND not harm the client.
My point is that if you have a valid attorney client relationship with a client who is under death threats and has a bounty on their head, them not responding should be cause for alarm NOT dismissal.
The whole thing does not pass the smell test. I agree with other posters that the attorneys are seeking attention and harming their client in the process. I could be wrong and Zimmerman could know he is a free man and agrees/greenlighted their behavior.
If NOT I would, at a minimum, get their a$$es sanctioned.
