Dear Eudoxia's Lawyer:
I humbly apologize for not filing an appearance and answer in the dissolution matter you have filed. However, I feel I owe you an explanation as to why I haven't done so, even though I have prepared a motion to appear and answer. As you know, my client has been diagnosed as being manic and bi-polar. Virtually everyday when I open my office there is a voice message waiting for me, firing me. Ethically, I should not do anything for someone who has fired me, however, every time I go to see him he retracts the discharge.
I just left him late Thursday afternoon and I have come to the conclusion regardless of his voice messages over the telephone I will just proceed to protect him because that seems to be what he wants, and more importantly, what he needs.
I am going to instruct my staff to immediately file my motion to appear and answer the petition you have filed.
I think at some point, even though we are quite far apart, it will be necessary that you and I sit down and discuss this matter whether it be a telephone or a personal face to face confrontation. I think that there are matters that must be worked out. Thanks for the passport and driver's license which I will keep in a safe place.
I don't know if you are aware of it, but my client has been in a locked ward at the hospital for a long period of time and he has asked me to move him to another hospital. I will attempt to do so, but I believe that will be difficult to do.
Having said all that, I don't want you to think that I am avoiding anything or being unresponsive. It is just very difficult to deal with him.
I look forward to meeting withyou.
Very truly yours,
SO's Lawyer
