Per this article these attorneys sought to withdraw as FD's counsel:
In the divorce case Michael Rose sought to withdraw for "good cause". In the GF loan case 1) the law firm Markowitz and Mawhinney sought to withdraw citing the retirement age of one partner and a new focus on a different kind of law for another; and 2) John Clifford sought to withdraw citing “Serious issues ... make it impossible under our rules of professional conduct to continue... The attorney-client relationship has clearly broken down.”

Regardless of the 'public' reasons all these attorneys give for withdrawing as FD's legal rep, it's obvious they all believed it
was just a matter of time before FD entangled them professionally in his web of lying, blaming, cunning deviousness
and they could be jeopardized.
Clients like FD are a loose cannon, legal reps know this and understand the danger of being involved.
What these clients do to others, it's understood that it's just a matter of time til they turn on their legal rep. And they will.
FD had no scruples, None. He was the rabid animal ready to strike and destroy any who crossed him.
NP will also be phased out eventually by FD if he doesn't toe the line. Plus there's a limit to secure cash available to NP so he'll
just toss in the towel and bow out at some point.
FD is "that" client that no one really wants but if the stars align
professionals thinks it's good money. But FD has burned too many bridges and will continue to do so. It's just him.
