A letter of termination is used to inform about the discontinuation of service provided by a firm or a person. Termination letters can be of several types. An Attorney Termination Letter is a letter to terminate the services of an attorney. Such a letter is written by a person or organization which is being legally represented by a particular attorney or by the employer of the attorney. There could be several reasons for termination, such as dissatisfaction with the legal representation or failure to produce desired results.
Informing the attorney verbally about the termination shall not be appropriate with regard to professional ethics. Therefore, a well-drafted Attorney Termination Letter should be written to disclose the decision. The termination letter must mention the details of the reason that has lead to the decision. The tone of the letter should be kept soft throughout. The letter must be concluded on a positive note by wishing the reader success for future.
