What happens when an attorney completes the representation specified in the Notice of Limited Scope Representation?

Limited scope representation ends when the tasks identified in the Notice are completed. At that point, the attorney may formally withdraw from the case, but only in the way the rules specify. Referring to Rule 9(d)(2)(A) means the withdrawal must follow the permitted procedure under that rule, ensuring proper notice to the client and the court. This lets the client proceed on the remaining issues—either on their own or with another attorney—without the attorney being obligated to stay on the case for matters outside the agreed scope. That’s why this option is the best: it aligns with the purpose of limited scope representation and provides a clear, proper exit for the attorney once the specified work is finished. The other ideas assume ongoing participation to final order, a new withdrawal filing, or an appeal, none of which are required simply because the limited scope tasks are done.
