QUESTION
Do I respond to a lawyer's email?
Asked on Feb 07th, 2014 on Labor and Employment - Georgia
More details to this question:
I was recently let go by my employer. I received e-mail from her lawyer requesting some responses from me. I am not sure whether I should just call and answer or if this could potentially hurt me? I do not have the money to retain a lawyer (due to losing job unexpectedly). Would it hurt me more to not respond? The email said that they were sending a certified letter, but it has been a few days and I have not.

I know of no legal obligation on your part to respond, nor can I imagine it would be in your best interest to respond. You likely should ignore them. But, I do not know the reason you were separated, nor the reason they want answers from you. If, for example, they think you stole, and you have a simple explanation, it might be best to respond, show them where the money is, and end this all. But, if you did steal, you would only be making things worse by responding. I am not calling you a thief, I do not know why you sere separated. This is just an example. There is no easy answer, based on the limited facts stated.
