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 well. I am writing to inform you that, due to unforeseen circumstances, I must terminate our professional attorney-client relationship effectively immediately. It is with regret that I inform you of this decision, as I have genuinely valued our interactions and the opportunity to represent you. Our professional relationship has been centered around providing legal advice and representing your interests in legal matters in the state of Missouri. However, circumstances beyond my control have emerged which make it impossible for me to continue to represent you to the best of my abilities. As a responsible attorney, I believe it is in your best interest to seek alternative legal representation. I understand the importance of ensuring a smooth transition during this critical time, and I am committed to providing you with any necessary documentation or assistance to facilitate the transition. Upon termination of our representation, it is essential to take the following steps: 1. Withdrawal from Legal Proceedings: I will immediately file the necessary motions and/or notices to withdraw my representation from all ongoing legal proceedings involving your case. This will allow you to secure new legal counsel promptly. 2. Transfer of Documents: I will compile all relevant files, documents, and correspondence related to your case and arrange for their secure transfer to your new legal representative. It is important to keep a record of all such materials for future reference. 3. Outstanding Invoices and Payments: Please be advised that any outstanding invoices or pending payments for legal services rendered until the date of termination will be addressed within the standard business practices. A final invoice shall be issued, and any payments already made will be accounted for accordingly. 4. Confidentiality and Privilege: Rest assured that I will continue to uphold the utmost confidentiality and attorney-client privilege, even after the termination of our professional relationship. Your personal information, case details, and any other sensitive matters discussed will remain protected. It is vital that you promptly seek new legal representation to ensure your legal rights and interests are appropriately represented moving forward. I encourage you to contact the Missouri Bar Association or seek recommendations from trusted sources to find a qualified attorney specializing in your specific legal needs. I understand that this news may present unexpected challenges, and I apologize for any inconvenience it may cause. However, I firmly believe this is the best course of action under the current circumstances. If you have any questions or concerns, I will be available for a limited time to address them and provide guidance during the transitional period. Thank you for entrusting me with your legal concerns in Missouri. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to have represented you thus far, and I wish you the very best in resolving your legal matters successfully. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Law Firm Name] [Contact Information]
