From about * to around * I was the treasurer of a small club. I resigned in * due to infighting between * groups. Those * groups are now sueing each other and I have on of the lawyers wanting to ask me questions. Do I have to respond to this request ?
Hello ****, in Pennsylvania, you aren't legally obligated to respond to a lawyer's questions unless you've been subpoenaed. If you've received a subpoena, it's best to consult with your own legal counsel before responding. Always remember, you have the right to remain silent.
ok, should I advise this lawyer I'm not responding ? Or should I just say nothing ?
It's generally a good idea to inform the lawyer that you will not be responding to avoid unnecessary follow-ups. However, it's best to consult with your own legal counsel before doing so.
ok, thanks. this worked well.
You're welcome, ****! I'm glad I could assist you. If you have any more questions or need further legal information in the future, don't hesitate to reach out. Best of luck with your situation.
