[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Former Client's Name] [Former Client's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Hearing Scheduled on Client's Outstanding Attorney's Fees Dear [Former Client's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to inform you that a hearing has been scheduled regarding your outstanding attorney's fees. As you may recall, I represented you as your attorney in a legal matter earlier this year. Despite numerous attempts to reach out and remind you about the remaining balance and our previous discussions regarding payment terms, there has been no resolution on your part to settle the outstanding fees. Due to the severity of the outstanding balance and the lack of communication from your end, it has become necessary to pursue legal action. The upcoming hearing is set to take place on [date] at [time] in [court's name and address]. This formal proceeding will give us an opportunity to present the details of your unpaid attorney's fees and reach a resolution. It is crucial that you attend this hearing to present your side of the matter and any valid concerns or counter-arguments you may have. To ensure a fair and unbiased hearing, I strongly encourage you to seek legal representation. If you do not have an attorney, it would be wise to consult one promptly to prepare your defense adequately. In preparation for the hearing, please gather any pertinent documents, correspondences, or financial records that may support your claims. This could include any invoices, receipts, payment records, or any other evidence that you believe is significant to your case. If you are unable to attend the scheduled hearing, it is imperative that you notify the court in writing as soon as possible. Failure to appear or address this matter may result in further legal action, which could potentially impact your credit rating and future prospects. Please note that my primary intention is to resolve this matter amicably and recover the outstanding fees without resorting to prolonged litigation. To avoid any unnecessary complications, I urge you to make immediate arrangements to settle your outstanding balance by [date] to avoid any additional legal expenses or complications. If you have any questions or require any clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me via phone or email. It is in both of our best interests to resolve this matter before the hearing and find a mutually acceptable solution. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, [Your Name]
