Please the attached letter of requesting that you cease work on this case and refund my money!
July 6, 2009
I returned from trial this afternoon and received your e-mailed letter. I will follow your wishes and will run an accounting of fees and refund the unused portions of fees. My next billing period for updated fees closes out on 7-9-09 and I can provide you with such after that time, Thank you

As you can see it has been four months since your email (below) stating that you would refund the unused portion my money. I have contacted the the State Bar Of Texas, Office of the Chief Disciplinary Counsel and received the forms necessary to file a formal complaint. I have also had one meeting with a local attorney concerning this matter and he is prepared to take legal action if we so desire. Because of your unwillingness to repay me I have not been able to retain another attorney to handle my child support case. Now I am afraid it is too late to take action because by the time it gets to trial there will only be a few months left that the father will have to pay child support. I feel there are lost damages as a result of your actions to not refund my money. What I am offering you is this. Refund ($1,700.00) by Friday October 16 2009 and I will consider the issue closed. Other wise I we will be forced to choose one or both of the methods above and will be asking for damages along with the $1,700.00.
I am not going to go into detail in this letter about all the reasons that I dismissed you. I feel that I was very justified in your dismissal and under the circumstances I am owed a full refund.

Thank you for your email. Am I correct in understanding that you have not filed, but do intend to file a grievance, however if I pay $1,700 on 10-16-09 then you will not be filing a grievance with the State Bar of Texas? Thank you
