Can a lawyer drop my workman comp case just before court?
Answer
You have the right to object to the timeliness of his withdrawal. You need to put something in writing to the judge. With that being said, the judge would surely give you time to find a new attorney. You have not said why he is withdrawing which may be important in finding a new lawyer. But yes, he most likely can withdraw and will not be forced to spend money for costs or appear on your behalf.
Answer
The judge controls whether an attorney can withdraw. You have a right to be heard on the issue. Seek a new attorney to try and take the case asap.
