Description

This is a multi-state form covering the subject matter of the title. Subject: Termination of Representation — Puerto Rico Dear [Client's Name], RE: Termination of Representation in Puerto Rico We hope this letter finds you in good health. We, [Law Firm Name], regretfully inform you of our decision to terminate our attorney-client relationship effective immediately. We understand the importance of clear communication, which is why we are providing you with this detailed account of what led us to this decision. Firstly, it is essential to understand what Puerto Rico represents in the context of our legal practice. Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States, located in the northeastern Caribbean. As such, it has a unique legal system combining elements of both federal and local law. 1. Termination Type — Lack of Progress: This termination arises due to a lack of progress in your legal matter. Despite our efforts to diligently represent your interests, significant delays or obstacles have prevented the advancement of the case. It is essential to recognize that certain factors, such as procedural complexities, local regulations, or external circumstances beyond our control, can contribute to such hindrances. 2. Termination Type — Conflict of Interest: This termination occurs due to the potential or actual conflict of interest arising between you and another client of our firm. Ethical guidelines strictly govern our profession, and maintaining the utmost confidentiality and loyalty to each client is of paramount importance to us. Therefore, in situations where representing both parties would compromise our ethical obligations, termination becomes necessary. 3. Termination Type — Non-Payment of Fees: This termination results from overdue payments or repeated failure to fulfill financial obligations promptly. As legal professionals, we invest our time, resources, and expertise into diligently handling your case. However, the inability to satisfy agreed-upon payment terms undermines our ability to provide you with the necessary representation. Regardless of the termination type applicable in your case, we encourage you to seek alternative legal counsel promptly. It is crucial to ensure continuity in addressing your legal matters effectively. We are more than willing to cooperate with your new attorney, providing them with the necessary documentation and details to facilitate a smooth transition. Please note that upon termination, we will retain any case files, documents, or records related to our representation of you. However, we are obliged to provide you with a copy upon your request or upon the authorization of your new representative. We understand that this decision may leave you with questions or concerns. Should you wish to discuss the termination or require any clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us at [Law Firm Contact Details]. Our team remains committed to providing you with the necessary assistance during this transition period. We genuinely appreciate the opportunity to have represented you in your legal matters thus far.
