The lawyer can withdraw for any reason if the judge lets him.? The court has to give the attorney permission to withdraw.

A lawyer can withdraw from a civil case for a number of reasons. Some lawyers, civil and otherwise, will have a requirement in their contracts that their client refrain from any illegal or immoral behavior. If such a clause existed, then the lawyer has a much stronger basis to withdraw. Of course, it really depends on the reasons provided by the lawyer for his/her withdrawal.
