What do you mean by “a legal notice”? A cease and desist demand from an attorney has no special legal significance. Whether in writing, over the phone, or in any other form, you have no obligation to comply.
However, if someone retained a lawyer to get you to stop doing something, you better be sure that you are in the right before continuing to act. This is because if you don’t, the next step is you being served with a summons and complaint.

You are to conduct all but incidental contact through the attorney. There is nothing legally special about a "cease and desist" letter from an attorney that exceeds an aggrieved party telling you himself to cease contact.
Nevertheless, you should consider yourself warned that all contact is undesired, and that the attorney is putting himself forward as the point of contact.

My temptation would be to ask the attorney if he/she indeed is representing the potential complaintant/defendant, and perhaps ask the person similarly.

Why would you want to keep screwing around with someone who has engaged an attorney to keep you away? Are you that big a jerk?
You're about one step from being hauled into court on a matter that, even if you win, will probably end up making you look like a smuck.

You're reading If an attorney tells you, in a phone conversation, not to harass his client, but does not send a legal notice to cease and desist, how LEGALLY obligated are you to cease contact?
