(b) Limiting Appearance. An attorney of record for a party in an appeal or original proceeding governed by these rules will be the attorney of record throughout the same appeal or original proceeding unless at the time of appearance the attorney files a notice specifically limiting the attorney's appearance only to a particular matter or portion of the proceeding in which the attorney appears.
(c) Scope of Representation. If an attorney appears for a particular limited matter or portion of a proceeding, as provided by this rule, that attorney will be deemed "of record" for only that particular matter or portion of the proceeding. If the party designates e-mail address(es) for service on and by that party, the party's e-mail address(es) must also be included. At the conclusion of such matter or that portion of the proceeding, the attorney's role terminates without the necessity of leave of court on the attorney filing a notice of completion of limited appearance. The notice of termination of limited appearance must be substantially in the form prescribed by rule 9.900(n) and must include the names and last known addresses of the person(s) represented by the withdrawing attorney.
(d) Withdrawal of Attorneys; Substitution of Attorneys.
(2) If an attorney from the same firm, company, or governmental agency has already appeared on behalf of the client or is the proposed substitute counsel, withdrawal and substitution may be completed by filing a notice under the Florida Rules of General Practice and Judicial Administration. A copy of the notice must be served on the client and adverse parties.
(3) All other attorneys must first seek leave of court to withdraw. The attorney must file a motion for that purpose stating the reasons for withdrawal and the client's address. A copy of the motion must be served on the client and adverse parties.
