Re: Email Violation

Unfortunately, there is probably no specific law that prohibits this type of conduct, but there are possible civil issues that could arise � privacy, breach of contract, etc. I would need to know more about your case before I could give you a more complete answer.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
