Do I have to reply when I receive a lawyer's letter?

In the real world, many parties will be disgusted and don't want to pay attention to it when they receive a letter from a lawyer. Because they think that the lawyer's letter is neither an indictment nor a judgment, ignoring it will not have any serious consequences. Can the client ignore the lawyer's letter? The following is Bian Xiao's answer.

1. Can I ignore the lawyer's letter?

No, the lawyer's letter is a serious warning. If you ignore it after receiving it, you will face lawsuits and lawsuits.

Received a lawyer's letter is just a warning:

1. If you don't want to go to court, after receiving the lawyer's letter, take the initiative to negotiate and solve it as soon as possible before being sued.

If you ignore the lawyer's letter after receiving it, the other party may take the next step, then you will face the consequences of being sued and the defendant will go to court.

China's "Lawyers Law" stipulates that the lawyer's letter belongs to one of the lawyer's businesses, and the specific legal provisions are as follows:

People's Republic of China (PRC) Lawyers Law (revised on 20 17)

Article 28 A lawyer may engage in the following businesses:

(a) to accept the entrustment of natural persons, legal persons or other organizations as legal advisers;

(two) to accept the entrustment of the parties in civil cases and administrative cases, to act as agents and to participate in litigation;

(3) Accepting the entrustment of criminal suspects and defendants in criminal cases or legal aid agencies to act as defenders according to law, accepting the entrustment of private prosecutors in private prosecution cases, victims in public prosecution cases or their close relatives to participate in litigation as agents;

(four) to accept the entrustment and represent the complaints of various litigation cases;

(five) to accept the entrustment and participate in mediation and arbitration activities;

(6) Accepting entrustment to provide non-litigation legal services;

(seven) to answer questions about the law and write litigation documents and other documents related to legal affairs.

Second, how long will it take to sue after receiving the lawyer's letter?

There is no rule that lawyers will be prosecuted if they write too many letters. Because the main function of lawyer's letter is to urge both parties to negotiate and solve the problem through consultation, of course, there are also some lawyer's letters for the purpose of terminating the contract. If you actively negotiate after receiving the lawyer's letter, the successful negotiation will not be prosecuted. If the negotiation fails, they may be sued. There is no mandatory rule on how long they will be prosecuted after receiving a letter from a lawyer. After the lawyer's letter was sent, the other party did not reply, or did reply but did not achieve the expected effect. At this time, it is necessary to communicate with customers whether further actions are needed to implement sanctions. In the "lawyer's opinion" part of the general lawyer's letter, the other party will be required to take corresponding actions within the specified time, otherwise corresponding sanctions will be imposed. You have sent all your "legal threatening letters". Within the time limit specified by you, the other party did not do as you asked, and you did not take any sanctions. After that, any letter will be invalid, and the other party will think that you are just bluffing and won't take any action. You should explain the truth to the customer, and then the customer will decide whether to take further action. If you want to go to court or take other legal measures, then go through the relevant entrustment procedures and enter the next legal procedure.

The above is the content compiled by Bian Xiao. We can understand that a reminder letter can be used for every shield battle. Receiving a lawyer's letter means that the other party has handed over all the accidents to professionals to solve. If you don't pay attention to it and sign for it, what awaits you may be a lawsuit. So, when someone gives this warning, you must know how to deal with it. If you have any questions, you can consult relevant lawyers.
