Attorneys representing Full Tilt Poker in class action lawsuits against the company have filed a motion to withdraw as “attorneys of record with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York,” according to eGaming Review Magazine.

Jeff Ifrah and David Deitch of Ifrah PLLC, representing the online site and its individuals in two separate ongoing class action lawsuits, stated in the motion that "continued representation of defendants would create unreasonable difficulty for us to carry out our employment effectively and would result in an unreasonable financial burden to our law firm.”

Ifrah told eGaming Review that “neither the overhanging federal indictments, nor the new class action brought last month had any bearing on his and Deitch’s decision” last week. Full Tilt is still set to meet with the Alderney Gambling Control Commission on or before Sept. 15.
