What if I receive a text message from a lawyer?

Legal analysis: After receiving a letter from a lawyer, you can consider negotiating with the other party or prepare for a lawsuit. A lawyer's letter is a kind of advance notice, indicating that the other party is ready to file a lawsuit against the current dispute. If you don't want to go to court, discuss with the other party how to solve it after receiving the lawyer's letter. The lawyer's letter itself will not have legal consequences, just a warning. Lawyer's letter is generally regarded as a threat of litigation, which may be that the parties put pressure on the other party to make peace on their own initiative in order to gain the advantage of negotiation; It is also possible that the parties lose confidence in conflict resolution and issue a lawsuit warning.
