Dear Ms. [redacted]:In response to the complaint filed with the Revdex.com by [redacted], we provide the following response, after providing our client an opportunity to provide us with proof that he had either withdrawn his complaint or risk the need for our office to disclose...

privileged and confidential attorney-client information in providing our response, which response is in the form of a denial and presentation of our defense to the complaint.First, as it may be evident, we are denying the accuracy of Mr. [redacted]'s complaint. We have been representing Mr. [redacted] since late December 2015, regarding a series of business disputes that he had with the HerbalLife companies, with his former business partners, and with two individuals who purportedly bought his business from him and then wanted to return the business to him.[redacted] advised us when we first met with him that he wanted to have representation in terms of a claim by the buyers of the business that he and his business partners had defrauded them. Then [redacted] claimed that the buyers had "trashed" the business and returned it to him, that he had issues in taking the business back while facing potential claims of fraud by the buyers, and ultimately that a limited liability company, which was formed by the buyers of the business who also apparently listed him as one of the managers and members of the LLC, needed to be dissolved.Along the way, we came to know that Mr. [redacted] has a learning/developmental disability, which results in his vacillating and constant changing of his mind as to decisions related to the business. We have attempted to help Mr. [redacted] to disengage himself from his former business partners, as well as the buyers of the business. This transaction, therefore, has been convoluted and difficult, at best, in that both the opposing parties in the transaction and our own client have not been fully forthcoming with true and accurate facts upon which we may operate. Nevertheless, out of concern for Mr. [redacted] and his personal situation, we have continued to communicate with him and represent him in attempting to disengage him from a very bad business deal and one where he faces potential liabilities as a result.Throughout our representation of Mr. [redacted], he has requested and we have provided explanations of our detailed billing and invoicing. We are attaching copies of the invoices, so that you may see the detail that we provide Mr. [redacted] with each invoice regarding the services that have been provided in the preceding month. Mr. [redacted]'s claim that he would obtain or receive a statement that "would not indicate what [we] had done and [we] would not tell [him] what [we were] billing [him] for," is simply untrue. Nevertheless, based upon Mr. [redacted]'s disability I would personally take great care and the time, at no cost to Mr. [redacted], to explain to him what was going on with his matter. Once he had that further explanation, he would normally change his mind from terminating the relationship to asking us for more help in this matter. When Mr. [redacted] claims that we have done nothing for him, he fails to recognize that he still owns his ongoing business, he is still operating in the space for which he is personally responsible on the lease. His claims that we are overbilling him and using undue means to collect the $742.00 balance that we are owed, are all untrue or, at the very least, inaccurate. Since your initial letter was sent to us, we have attempted to communicate with Mr. [redacted] via e-mail and asked him to withdraw his claim. We also advised him that if he did not do so, we would respond to the Revdex.com, as our reputation in the community, including our rating with the Revdex.com is very important to us and to our legal practice, and that Mr. [redacted] did risk disclosure of what would otherwise be privileged attorney-client information if he did not withdraw the complaint. Mr. [redacted] has ignored our efforts to contact him. We are hopeful that we will be able to work out and arrangement with him. Nevertheless, we are also not interested in attempting to make efforts to collect on the outstanding balance at this time. We will therefore be writing off the small balance that he owes to our firm and will advise him that we are no longer representing his interest in light of the obvious conflict of interest created by his complaint. This will resolve the matter entirely.We look forward to hearing from you as to the results of your review of our response and do hope to continue to enjoy a favorable rating with the Revdex.com.Sincerely,[redacted] W.
