ANOTHER NOTE ON DIFFICULT CLIENTS

 POSTED BY
DEAR BAR REPRESENTATIVE,

I have a client who continues to harass me even after I have fully completed their case and is threatening to report a frivolous claim to the bar. Is there a preventative measure I can take as far as write a letter on my behalf and explaining the circumstances? In addition, I have written several letters to the client explaining that I no longer represent them because they case is closed and no further action is necessary. Is it ethical to write a client a cease and desist letter to end harassment?

RESPONSE

DEAR ATTORNEY,

There is nothing really for you to do until a claim is filed.

You can inform the client only to contact you in writing by mail. You may block emails and not take phone calls.
