Whether for commercial reasons or for personal issues, everyone must handle legal circumstances eventually in their life.
Completing legal documentation requires meticulous consideration, starting from selecting the appropriate form template.
With an extensive US Legal Forms catalog available, you never have to waste time searching for the right template online. Use the library’s easy navigation to locate the appropriate form for any scenario.
Make sure always to use correct grammar and punctuation. Try not to use slang or abbreviations when sending an email. Excellent legal writing is one of a lawyer's most important skills; thus, if you send email correspondence laden with text slang and emoticons, you could lose credibility.
Use the Appropriate Title: If the lawyer has a specific title, such as "Attorney," "Esquire," or "Counsel," use it in your greeting. For example, "Dear Attorney Smith" or "Dear Mr. Johnson, Esq." Include Their Last Name: Address the lawyer by their last name, followed by the appropriate title.
But if you decide to fire your lawyer, it is best to do it in writing. That can be in an email, in a letter, or in a text message. It can be simple. You might as well be polite (because being rude won't accomplish anything).
Be Clear: Be direct and get straight to the point. Clearly state that you are terminating the attorney and briefly state the reasons why. Additionally, the termination letter should state that the attorney should immediately stop working on any pending matters.
Address an attorney as "Mr." or "Ms." in most contexts. In the salutation for a letter or email, address an attorney the same way you would any other respected professional- using "Mr." or "Ms." followed by their surname. Generally, this is the best way to address an attorney if you've never spoken to them before.
