OH MY GOD!
Where to begin?
First of all, how unprofessional, and secondly, it is "reap what you
'sow,'" now "sew". If she is going to use a cliche, couldn't she at
least spell it right? And WTF is with her "blab la bla"? Does she not
read your e-mail about it being a small community?! So, finally, can I
forward this along to some folks? I am sure they would love to see how
the up-and-coming lawyers are comporting themselves! (Clearly she did
not go to BU!!!) J

Thank you for the refresher course on contracts. This is not a bar exam
question. You need to realize that this is a very small legal
community,
especially the criminal defense bar. Do you really want to start
pissing off more experienced lawyers at this early stage of your
career?

A real lawyer would have put the contract into writing and not exercised
any such reliance until he did so.
Again, thank you.

Dianna -
Given that you had two interviews, were offered and accepted the job
(indeed, you had a definite start date), I am surprised that you chose
an e-mail and a 9:30 PM voicemail message to convey this information to
me. It smacks of immaturity and is quite unprofessional. Indeed, I
did
rely upon your acceptance by ordering stationery and business cards with
your name, reformatting a computer and setting up both internal and
external e-mails for you here at the office. While I do not quarrel
with your reasoning, I am extremely disappointed in the way this played
out. I sincerely wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Dear Attorney Korman,
At this time, I am writing to inform you that I will not be accepting
your offer.
After careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that the pay
you are offering would neither fulfill me nor support the lifestyle I am
living in light of the work I would be doing for you. I have decided
instead to work for myself, and reap 100% of the benefits that I sew.
Thank you for the interviews.
Dianna L. Abdala, Esq.
