Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Client's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to inform you that, after careful consideration and review of our professional relationship, we have decided to terminate our representation of you in your legal matters effective immediately. This decision was not made lightly, but we believe it is in the best interest of both parties involved. Maine Sample Letter to Client — Termination of Representation can be categorized into various types based on the reason for termination. Some common types include: 1. Mutual Termination: In certain cases, both the client and the attorney may come to a mutual agreement to terminate the representation. This can occur when the client no longer requires legal services or wishes to seek representation elsewhere. We believe that this type of termination would be a suitable option if both parties are in agreement. 2. Non-Cooperation: Unfortunately, our professional relationship has been hindered by a lack of cooperation from your end. This lack of cooperation has made it extremely difficult for us to adequately represent you and effectively handle your legal matters. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to terminate our representation. 3. Conflicts of Interest: A conflict of interest arises when the attorney's professional obligations may be compromised due to personal or professional relationships, or when representing multiple clients with opposing interests. In such cases, termination of representation may be necessary to ensure ethical and unbiased legal counsel. 4. Breach of Agreement: In situations where the client consistently fails to fulfill their obligations as outlined in our initial agreement, termination of representation may be necessary. This could include non-payment of fees or a breach of confidentiality, among other things. Regardless of the specific reason, it is important to note that our decision to terminate our representation does not absolve us of any professional responsibilities or commitments already made. We will continue to assist you in transitioning to new legal representation by providing all necessary documentation and ensuring a smooth transfer of your case files. We strongly recommend you seek alternative legal counsel as soon as possible to avoid any disruptions in your legal matters. Should you require any assistance with the transition or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office. We appreciate the opportunity to have represented you thus far and wish you the best in your future legal endeavors. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Law Firm Name] [Contact Information]
