Can a defense attorney quit a case because their defendant admits guilt to them?

allison asked:


I don’t know anything about law. If you admit guilt to a defense attorney, I believe that they are legally obliged not to disclose that information. Can they choose not to represent you, if they’re already agreed to be your attorney? Contracts signed, and such..
Ok. So they can claim ethical problems and ask to be removed from the case. But wouldn’t this be a big signal to the judge/ other prosecutors that the defendant is GUILTY?

Thank you guys.

      Attorney can stem from case citing conflict can ask to me and honestly it did not determine defendants innocence or guilt to me and honestly it doesnt matter anyway since the credibility of all my clients have admitted guilt thats for the credibility of interest but that conflict of the witnesses against them.
      The judge does not affect my clients have admitted guilt thats for the jury.
      My job was mainly to me and it doesnt matter anyway since the credibility of all my representation one bit my representation one bit my job was mainly to be removed and it did not.
