Problem tenant demands to speak to my attorney, how to respond?

[Tandi H.]

We recently purchased a property with two inherited tenants. One of them is a "problem tenant". The previous owner said they were going to terminate the month-to-month lease if they hadn't sold the property to us. But of course it was easier to pass the problem tenant on. We are pretty new to REI and I didn't realize until too late that I should have asked them to evict the tenant prior to purchase. Oops.

Anyway, we purchased the property mid-January and immediatly gave the tenant notice.  We gave them till end of February (a generous 45 days) to move out.

The tenant is a "pot stirrer" and keeps demanding (in emails, our only communication), to speak with my attorney.  I believe they previously worked for an attorney and seem to think they have some sort of legal knowledge or "inside scoop".  I have ignored the request up till now.  Of course I don't want to pay $275/hr to my attorney to field questions, demands, complaints, etc from tenants.  

What is the appropriate response to the demands to speak to my attorney?  This appears to be a person who will drag you down a dark, nasty rabbit hole if you engage with them.
