Mr. Duhlberg;

I have your attachment and am deeply offended by it.

I more upset over being ordered to call you today.  I am preparing for trial and frankly don’t have time to read or comment on your attempts to educate me on what legal malpractice is all about, I particularly don’t have time top read outdated cases on the elements of a legal malpractice case, nor do I have any intention of quoting the law you sent to me.

You understand full well I’m sure that I have been doing this for a very long time, if I need help on understanding the law I will get from someone who knows how to do legal research, you and your brother don’t.

If I have anymore of this authoritative comments or instructions I will have to give particular thought to withdrawing my appearance and letting you represent your self or find someone else, understand this is not an empty threat, I will tolerate any more of this.  If I need a factual question answered and I’m sure I will in the course of this litigation then I will ask you but kindly stop with rudimentary research.  The Google searches of you and your brother are not replacements for my law license.

I generally don’t have a proble3m with relatives helping out and being involved just so long as the client understands that the relatives involvement may waive the attorney client privilege.  However at this point your brother has become more the problem then helpful.  While I can not prevent him from injecting himself into your case through you, I am no longer willing to have him present at conferences or communicate directly with me.

At this point with everything I have going and the attitude you are displaying I have serious doubts as continuing to represent you.  Kindly do not communicate with my staff on the telephone in the manner you chose today

Sincerely

Thomas W Gooch
