Thank you.

I can understand why alot of defendants would ignore the demand but a business owner who stands to lose contracts by way of media exposure to a horiffic allegation just baffles me.

You are welcome and good luck.

Here is the flip side - your demand may be viewed as blackmail by someone that believes they are innocent or at least intends to claim they are innocent. There may indeed be media exposure listing you as a black mailer. There are many ways this can play out and it doesn't necessarily have to be the way you think it should. Those of us on Avvo can't really help you since we don't have access to all the facts. We can only speculate and this is not a good way to get legal advice. You need to follow the suggestion I made earlier - talk to your lawyer and if that doesn't satisfy you, pay another lawyer to give you a second opinion. But you can post all day long here on Avvo and unfortunately I don't think it will ever resolve your questions.

You are right.. but I have received alot of great information on this site which I appeciate.. I would normally direct all these qustions to my own lawyer but unfortunately he is harder to get ahold of than Jusin Bieber tickets right now..er,( for my kids of course) lol. Thanks again Ms. Reisman.
