Identify your client. It is important to let others know who is your client at the earliest opportunity. This accomplishes a great deal. First,it tells the reader that your client has a lawyer. This makes your client happy because most clients want the world to know they have a lawyer. Second,it tells the reader that you are not the readers lawyer. This makes your malpractice carrier happy because its one less person whos going to sue you claiming they thought you were representing them when,in fact,you were not.
Identifying your client is an ethical concern,as well. Florida Bar Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 4-4.3 says:
In dealing on behalf of a client with a person who is not represented by counsel,a lawyer shall not state or imply that the lawyer is disinterested.
Therefore,the first time you write someone a letter,the letter should open with the following sentence:I represent _________.After that,every time you write another letter reconfirm who you represent by referring to your client by name and asmy client.
明确你和客户之间的关系。让其他人尽快地了解到谁是您的客户,这样做很重要,也会带来意想不到的效果。首先,这会告诉读者您的客户有律师。其实,大多数的客户都希望满世界的人知道他们是有律师的,所以这会令您的客户感到高兴和自豪。其次,这还让读者知道您不是他的律师。如果不这样做,会让那些实际上和你没有代理关系而自认为和你有代理关系的人起诉你,所以这样做,也会让那些不负责任的送交者感到有些轻松。
