Advice on how to handle OC who keeps making veiled (and some overt) threats that if I don’t dismiss my client’s action he will seek criminal prosecution against client as well as me personally for filing a false encumbrance? (context: dispute over ownership of property)

No, threatening a frivolous bar complaint may be a violation.

Call his bluff. If you’re in a busy jurisdiction with *real* crime I doubt the DA will bother with it. Also, if you complied with the RPC and made your claim in good faith I don’t see how it’s criminal (unless there some specific statute in your jx)

Because I think threatening frivolous criminal prosecution is beyond the pale in *most* litigation (and usually not within the threatening attorney’s power) an old fashioned go f@$& yourself is appropriate. But that’s just me.

I don’t know what jurisdiction you’re in, but there’s legal ways to handle what OC is doing with threats. In Florida, we have a 57.105 motion for sanctions for filing a frivolous claim - OC could just file that instead of sending you threats. But bc he probably doesn’t have much merit, he is trying to scare/intimidate you instead (I say “he” because, well, it’s normally men who behave this way).

If there’s a valid dispute over property ownership, and you filed suit, you have a right to file a lis pendens. It’s protocol. You’re doing your job as your client’s attorney. He’s just “big mad”. Tell him to bring this same energy to court. Something a mentor once told me that always stuck is “Let the Judge tell you you’re wrong.” Fight for your client and do your best and don’t back down until a judge tells you to. (This is all assuming you’re doing your due diligence and being a proficient attorney in filing).

File a bar complaint

Another vote for ignoring him.

There’s a corporate partner that was a big-time lateral hire. He is always out of the loop on the deals and hands off on everything BUT any time there is a client call, he tries to provide input that is very off base (i.e., stating incorrect facts, creating inapplicable hypotheticals, or being an alarmist on items were previous addressed). It makes me cringe every time because the partner from a different corporate group has to cover his gaffes on the call. Has anyone run into this situation?

Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?
