I know it's not her husband because her husband is a brain dead meat head. This guy sounded intelligent.
I agree with what some of you other guys said which is that if she came to me nicely and requested the removal it would be different. But some bs like this is just disrespectful and shady. Especially since we were helping her out! |
Personally.. Being no kind of a legal expert.. I'd make them put their cards on the table, and keep mine face down.
That means you don't say anything that isn't a question.
That means you nail them down to exactly what course of action they're threatening/planning to take, and what it's based on.
Nail them down. Nail, nail, nail. Who are you, what do you do, what is your relationship with this client, are you on retainer, etc etc etc - you being a private citizen, you may ask ANY question you like - even though they don't have to answer it. Just keep drilling them for information about themselves, their career and especially about the case.
Then you can research it on your own or through counsel and determine whether or not there is any merit to what they're claiming.
You've done an excellent job of "sizing these idiots up", thus far, in my opinion.
