Neuharth, Esq., of the Neuharth Law Offices, attorney for Plaintiff who respectfully moves the Court as follows: 1. Respondent, Cindy Marie Walker, who is the Plaintiff in the above-captioned action, hereinafter "Respondent," retained W. Scott Arnoult, Esq. of Petitioner's office on or about August 2006 for representation with her divorce matter. 2. Said counsel mentioned to the undersigned on a few occasions that Respondent was not listening to his advice. 3. Said counsel also mentioned to the undersigned that respondent had also insulted him on a few occasions. 4. The undersigned spoke with Respondent over the telephone on or about November 14, 2006, and Respondent mentioned to the undersigned that she filed a support action in Maryland. 5. The undersigned mentioned to Respondent that said support action should have been filed in the Cumberland County Domestic Relations Office. 6. Respondent stated that she could file in Maryland where she is now residing. 7. Respondent then became confrontational with the undersigned and handed the telephone over to her paramour, Mr. Brett Aldrich. 8. Mr. Aldrich then told the undersigned that he has three and one half years of law school training and in essence that he knows how Respondent's case should proceed. 9. Mr. Aldrich then insulted the undersigned regarding our ability to competently represent Respondent. 10. It appears that Mr. Aldrich is directing Respondent in this matter more so than the offices of the undersigned. 11. The undersigned disagrees with the legal direction that Mr. Aldrich is apparently pushing Respondent. 12. Since Respondent is not listening to the advice of the undersigned's office, it does not appear that she needs to pay for advice that she does not follow. 13. Respondent and/or her above-mentioned paramour have directed insults toward W. Scott Arnoult, Esq. as well as the undersigned. 14. Given the above-mentioned insults and confrontational demeanor of Respondent, further representation of Respondent by the undersigned's office is no longer possible, for a workable attorney/client relationship has been damaged. WHEREFORE, counsel for Plaintiff respectfully requests leave to withdraw appearance as counsel for Plaintiff. Respectfully submitted, Date: I V Qi/ -. c;Q r Aaron J. Neuharth Id.
