Summary
A valid cease and desist letter should come from a licensed attorney, include the law firms details, and refer to actual legal actions. It must use clear legal language, specify allegations with evidence, and provide a compliance deadline. If you receive such a letter, verify its legitimacy, consult an attorney, and gather evidence if harassment is involved. Consider the letters claims and the senders authenticity to determine if action is necessary.Full Conversation

I have this so far. *. Comes from a licensed attorney. *. Has a law firm name, address, and bar number. *. Refers to actual legal action underway or pending. *. Refers to actual legal action underway or pending. *. Uses clear, legal wording not emotional attacks. *. Includes specific allegations backed by evidence. *.
