(c) An attorney may not withdraw an appearance without leave of court unless the client continues to be represented by another counsel already of record or a new attorney enters an appearance at the time of the withdrawal of appearance.
 
(d) The motion to withdraw the appearance, whenever leave of court is required, shall include satisfactory evidence that the client has been notified of the intent to present the motion to the Court in compliance with Rule N206 and that all reasonable steps have been taken to avoid prejudice to the client.
