What is my next best course of action if they have refused to continue a working relationship with us and continue to communicate empty threats?
I own my own photography business and have run the operations for years without a major legal quarrel. I’ve been threatened recently by a client in which they intend to take us to court for breach of contract, injunctive relief, and civil theft (including treble damages) as well as lodging complaints with various organizations such as the BBB. They have given an ultimatum and demanded a refund numerous times but I have yet to receive a letter from their attorney. I feel their claims to be false and find that I am still fulfilling the terms of my contract that they agreed to.

If you have not been sued by now i dont know what they ar waitng for. Keep doing what you are doing by honoring the agreements and performing. I would, just to be safe, hire a lawyer to send the client a letter indicating that all communication shoudl be sent to the lawyer, not you. take the emotions out of it and you may see silence on their part. Also, have the lawyer review all the files to double chech everythign is being done property in accordance with contracts and that he is able to refute the client's claims.
