Rejecting claims in a demand letter?
I recently received a demand letter from a former business partner that is making several claims regarding our agreement and the dissolution of our partnership. I believe that most of the claims are baseless and would like to know what my legal options are for rejecting these claims in the demand letter.

Your options range from ignoring the letter to writing a detailed and specific response to the letter. If you choose to respond, either verbally or in writing, you should consult with an attorney to make sure that you don't make any statements that come back to harm you. For example you might admit to something that gives your former partner grounds for a lawsuit.
