Description

This is a multi-state form covering the subject matter of the title. Subject: [Your Law Firm's Name] — Termination of RepresentatioLetterte— - Minnesota Dear [Client's Name], We hope this letter finds you well. We are writing to inform you that, after careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to terminate our representation in your legal matter. This decision was not taken lightly, and we believe it is in the best interest of all parties involved. Here, in Minnesota, there are different types of Termination of Representation letters that attorneys can employ, depending on the specific circumstances of the case. The two common types include: 1. Termination for Cause: If there has been a breach of the attorney-client agreement, non-payment of fees, lack of cooperation, or any other behavior that significantly undermines the attorney-client relationship, the attorney may have grounds for termination for cause. While this is a serious step, it may be necessary to protect the attorney's rights and ensure ethical practice. 2. Termination Without Cause: In certain situations, an attorney may choose to end their representation without any specific ground or reason. This decision could be due to conflicts of interest, workload restraints, or the attorney's professional judgment that continued representation may not yield successful outcomes. Regardless of the reason, we assure you that this decision was made after careful deliberation, keeping your best interests in mind. We understand that terminating an attorney-client relationship can be unsettling, and we want to ensure a smooth transition. Going forward, we advise you to seek alternative legal representation to safeguard your interests and ensure that your case receives the attention it deserves. We recommend retaining new counsel as soon as possible, as there may be time-sensitive obligations or deadlines related to your legal matter. Effect of Termination: Once the termination becomes effective, we will no longer be authorized to represent you, and you must not rely on our services or legal advice. We will promptly return all original documents and property you have provided to us, and we will provide you with copies of any relevant files or records that we possess. Please consider this termination effective [date], and kindly schedule an appointment with our office at your earliest convenience to collect your documents and discuss any further steps required. If you have any questions, concerns, or need assistance in finding suitable replacement counsel, our office will be more than happy to provide guidance and support during this transition. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this decision may cause. Our utmost priority is to ensure the best possible legal representation for our clients, and we believe that terminating our relationship is essential for the progress of your case. Thank you for placing your trust in our firm until now. We wish you the very best in your future endeavors and legal proceedings.
