An attorney case closing letter, also known as a termination of representation, is a formal document that officially ends their representation of a client in a matter.
All of those are acceptable in either a formal or an informal context, though “Best regards” would be the most appropriate to use in a formal context. “Yours truly” is the classic closing for letters, which is sometimes used in emails, though not as often.
Thank you for allowing our firm to represent you in this matter. Our representation for this matter is now concluded and we are closing our file. We will give you your original file. Please make arrangements with our office to pick up your file within 60 days of the date of this letter.
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.
Professional email sign offs Sincerely / Yours sincerely: Ideal for formal business and legal emails. Regards / Best regards / Kind regards: Safe and professional choices.
“Yours sincerely”, “Sincerely yours” and “Sincerely” are all possible. “Yours sincerely” is the most common. “Sincerely” is one often used by lawyers.
In the United States, esquire (often shortened to Esq.) is a title of courtesy, given to a lawyer and commonly appended to his/her surname ( e.g. , John Smith, Esq. or John Smith, Esquire) when addressing the lawyer in written form.
When signing the letter, you should close out with “Respectfully” or “Sincerely,” followed by both a typed and handwritten signature with your first and last name.
