The email also mentions issuing a cancel message (RFC 1036) which I think is for usenet, so this lawyer is obviously fishing. I'm going to remove the images, for her sake, but this lawyer sounds like he's incompetent, or an asshole. Or maybe both.

Removing her images is a good idea. Forget the legal reasons. Removing them will help you sleep tonight because you did the right thing. It's not like there's any shortage of models to promote either and who knows? The next one you promote may make you more money.
