Substitution Of Attorney {MC 306}

Form MC 306 - SUBSTITUTION OF ATTORNEY. This form is used in Michigan when a party in a case decides to change legal representation. This document notifies the court, all attorneys of record, and any unrepresented parties that a new attorney is taking over representation for the plaintiff, defendant, petitioner, respondent, or minor involved in the case. The form identifies the withdrawing attorney, the new attorney, and the client, and it ensures that all future filings and court papers are directed to the correct representative. The form requires signatures from the client, the withdrawing attorney, and the new attorney to show mutual consent to the substitution. Once submitted, the court may issue an ex parte order approving the change. Importantly, this filing does not alter the case itself but simply updates the record to reflect who is representing the party moving forward. MCR 2.117. www.FormsWorkflow.com
