[NH] Can a nurse’s attorney contact me directly and ask me to withdraw a case I filed with the Nursing Board?

I filed a complaint to the board of nursing in New Hampshire about a nurse I worked with. I had an attorney reach out directly to me (the complainant) via 2 separate emails: one stating the attorney was “helping the client write her case” and asked if I wanted to withdraw my complaint, another email was asking about an extension. The emails felt unprofessional and borderline intimidating. I wanted to know how to go about this. My HR at work is aware and is upset by this.

Yes, I have the emails documented.

I did, they said they would handle it on their end. I wanted to know if I was able to take this to an attorney myself.

Yes.

"I am writing to introduce myself as your colleague's counsel. She has asked me to help her prepare a response to your complaint that meets the Department of Enforcement's requirements and best explains her view of events. Before I expended more time and cost to your colleague in drafting the Response, I thought I might reach out to you to ask if you still wanted the complaint to proceed.

Of course, it is your right to keep the complaint in place and move forward with the investigative process. I just wanted to let you know that withdrawal is also an option and that I do not foresee any withdrawal on your part bringing about any consequence to you. I didn't want the parties to continue to spend time and energy on this only because of mistaken belief that there is no way to un-ring the complaint bell, so to speak. If you have questions on this, let me know.

Thanks and I will not bother you any further, but if you would like to talk to me, I am happy to speak with you or just listen if you would prefer. You can reach at this email or by phone below, anytime.

I replied back 'Yes, I'd like to proceed.'"

The other email was talking about a 30-day extension regarding the trial, but I nor my HR has no idea about any of it.

I never responded to the extension email, my HR told me not to.

Should I respond back to the extension email? I wasn't even aware there was a trial. HR has been reaching out to her attorney trying to get info and they won't respond to her, but they emailed me directly.

HR is aware and notified of everything that was sent.

I've not filed anything in court, just to the Board of Nursing.

I'm assuming the trial is with the board. She's also trying to file racial discrimination against the workplace, which is not the case either. New Hampshire Attorney Discipline Office
