2003It follows, then, that an attorney cannot represent a client effectively and to the full extent of his or her professional capability unless the client maintains the utmost trust and confidence in the attorney.” This philosophy engendered the development of the rule, now well rooted in our jurisprudence, that a client may discharge an attorney from the further performance of services at any time, with or without cause (see, Matter of Cohen v Grainger, Tesoriero & Bell, 81 NY2d 655 [1993]; Martin v Camp, 219 NY 170 [1916]).

1981Moreover, we have held that since the client has the absolute right on public policy grounds to terminate the attorney-client relationship at any time without cause, it follows as a corollary that the client cannot be compelled to pay damages for exercising a right which is an implied condition of the contract, and the attorney discharged without cause is limited to recovering in quantum meruit the reasonable value of services rendered (Matter of Montgomery, 272 NY 323 ; Martin v Camp, 219 NY 170 ).
