Legal Question in Personal Injury in Indiana
Hi, I sent a cease and desist letter to a private party that is slandering my name and defaming my professional name. She accepted the letter on about 3 weeks ago and has not responded in any form to my letter. What is my next step? Do I send a follow up demand letter? And I read somewhere in all my research that I should send a demand letter to answer to the C&D letter and attach Notice of Servicing First Set of Interrogatories. Is this the correct way to handle this matter- this person has accused me of purchasing a home under fradulent terms, has damaged the chance for me to have business relations with mutual clients as we are both real estate brokers, she is circulating fraudlent court records showing a person with the same name as myself having 3rd degree felony charges and drug possession charges. I have had to defend these allegations to the Indiana Attorney General Office and I know this person very well and have very very stron suspisions that she has sent these documents to potential clients in the real estate profession that woudl prevent me from getting approved with banks to handle bank owned listings as a listing broker vendor.
Thank you
Sherry

It sounds like you have done some reading online. Sometimes the internet is not accurate. This is especially true in the legal area beacause every state's laws are different.
Interrogatories are sent after a lawsuit is filed. There is no requirement that you send a second letter at all, although you certainly can do so. The alternative is to file suit.
You should probably consult with and hire an attorney. A FSBO approach in a significant business related lawsuit is not likely to obtain the results that you want.
