Q: Dear Ethics Lawyer, I represent a company threatened with suit. The opposing lawyer’s demand letter states that in the absence of settlement, she will file a lawsuit against our client on July 1, the last day of the statute of limitations. I know that she has made a counting mistake and that the limitations period actually runs a day earlier, on June 30. Am I obligated to correct her mistake, or can I simply let the time run? As a matter of professionalism, may I correct her mistake or does my duty to our client mandate that I stay silent?
