If Lawyer demands through notice to you it is not a court order. Therefore you can send him reply notice through Lawyer to that Lawyer and your opponent by denying, rejecting their claim. You don't have any legal liability to pay to opponent lawyer.

Yes, an Opponent's Lawyer on behalf of the client and under his instructions can send you a Legal-Demand Notice for money-recovery & as such, in that notice, a lawyer can demand Pre-Litigation Cost or Litigation-Cost to be solely borne by the addresse to whom the notice is sent.
