The Daily Beast reports:
At best, say legal experts, Mark Sahadys behavior is bad optics and could serve to irritate the judge deciding his fate. At worst, his actions could potentially constitute a violation of the bail conditions set by the court.
I have a motion to disappear from the case because (1) my client hasnt paid me at all for work performed in this case and (2) he is not returning my phone calls, defense attorney Rinaldo Del Gallo III told The Daily Beast in an email.

(34,069 posts)You typically request a deposit against fees up front for a significant chunk (or all) of the legal fees you expect to charge. When the depoisit is running low, you request an additional deposit.
Of course, once you are counsel of record in a court case, you are ethically obligated to continue unless the judge agrees to release you. So maybe that is what is happening here.
