It could mean two things.

That the attorney chose to.

Or the client chose to.

Mandatory withdrawal
There are many circumstances which require that an attorney must withdraw from a case:

The client fires the attorney.
The attorney determines that he is not competent to continue representing the client in a matter.
A conflict of interest arises under which the attorney's continued representation of multiple clients impairs the attorney's obligations to the individuals.
The client insists upon advancing a frivolous claim.
Continued representation would violate the rules of professional responsibility.
The attorney is in a physical or emotional state that seriously impairs the attorney's ability to continue the representation.
It is likely that the attorney will be called as a necessary witness as to a contested issue in the proceeding, and that testimony cannot be obtained elsewhere.
The attorney discovers that the client is using the attorney's services to further a criminal act.

Forgot to add this did you? Especially the first one.
