Shaw v. Pimpleton

Alphonse Lewis, Jr., is a practicing attorney in this state. He was retained by defendant Pimpleton to represent him in the instant case and in a second matter as well. Appellant Lewis filed several papers in the present case and was the attorney of record when, in August, 1968, he was informed by Mr. Pimpleton that he was being discharged as attorney in both matters. Later that same month, appellant received a stipulation as to a substitution of attorneys in the second matter. This was duly signed by appellant and filed with the court. No such substitution was filed in the present case.
