Kristine, you have left out several salient facts are: 1. I am also representing another tenant in your building; 2. Your landlord is a hedgefund, located in San Francisco, which is currently involved in several tenant lawsuits; 3. I had told you that you could greatly benefit by observing where my negotiations went for the other client, especially since I was dealing with landlord's San Francisco-based attorney, rather than with a local attorney; and 4. I did in fact draft the letter but I did not complete it while all of the above was involved. I have a number of excellent reviews because I do excellent work. As I promised, I refunded you the balance of the retainer. Andy Baker Attorney at Law
