I’m a freelance lawyer on Fiverr, and I’m seeking advice on dealing with a challenging situation with a client. I recently completed an order for this client, which involved drafting and sending a demand letter on their behalf. The order was completed, and the client even left a review. However, the client did not receive a response from the opposing party and requested another letter for free, which I provided out of goodwill. 

Now, the client is threatening to report me to Fiverr and is speaking inappropriately. They are unhappy with the lack of response from the opposing party and are blaming me, despite my explaining that the outcome is beyond my control once the letter is sent.
 

I’ve tried my best to handle the situation professionally, but the client continues to make unreasonable demands and has even implied blackmail to report me.
 

I’m seeking guidance from the Fiverr community on how to handle this client while protecting my reputation and preventing potential blackmail. Has anyone dealt with similar situations, and how did you navigate them? Any tips on involving Fiverr Support effectively in such cases would also be appreciated. 

Thank you in advance for your support and advice!
