i’ve been slammed with work lately and a client emails me asking for something pretty small but with an unnecessarily tight deadline. the real issue is that the guy asked in this really catty, passive-aggressive tone. i felt that with all the work i have coming in that i’d be better off without the headache. i emailed him back saying that my firm was ceasing representation immediately, and that we’d be writing off all time that hasn’t already been collected on. i guess that got the message across because i haven’t heard back from him. first time doing this. anything else i need to be aware of?

i told him i didn’t care for his tone and that another firm would likely be happy to let him shit on them so that he could feel like a real important man.

it’s corporate work so it’s not like we are in trial or anything.

Look, everyone has been there and good for you for speaking up, I bet that was freeing, like a breath of fresh air. All I'd say is just guard yourself if he seems like the vindictive sort; I've seen instances where a slighted former client will scheme for years to position himself for a reprisal, manipulating various events and outcomes from behind the scenes in hard to understand ways, like some sort of puppet master enacting an arcane, esoteric drama to the confusion of a bewildered audience of children and mothers in order to ensure that the opportunity arises where he's finally adverse to you in a litigation which he then uses as the stage upon which to destroy your career and firm. Otherwise, you should be in the clear.

you may not be cut out for running a small biz if you let your emotions get in the way of everyday decisions hth. you made the right move, and we all support you, but would CSLG have handled the situation the same way?

take the high road next time. this guy could have let to six referrals

update:

that was without a doubt the worst meeting i’ve ever had. as i feared, the client reached out to the partner running the deal. three partners and an hr rep were at the meeting. one of the partners called it “the most outlandishly brazen act [he’s] ever seen from any member of the firm, let alone a third-year.” the oldest partner almost seemed to find it funny, and i guess i would as well if it weren’t me. in any case, i am apparently done here, effective immediately. i am a little worried because i don’t think i will be able to easily lateral to another v20 in this market. in the end i guess the client fired ME.
