  • It should be ‘further’ instead of ‘farther’.
  • Farther means ‘at or to a greater distance’.
    Example: ​The farther you go the harder it is to return.
  • As an adjective, further means ‘more, extended, or additional.’ 
    Example: I don't need to tell you that any further assistance I provide you will not be by my choice.
  • As an adverb, further means ‘in addition to.’ 
    Example: When Dean didn't ask anything further, Martha continued.
  • Further, unlike farther, can be a verb
  • ​It means ‘to aid in the progress of, to promote, or to move forward.’ 

           Example: It appears that Kris is willing to sacrifice his education to further his cause.

             It was farther than I expected. Usha's house is farther than Ram's house.

      Among the three of you, Ram’s school is the farthest from here.
  • Miscreant: a person who has done something wrong or unlawful.

Hence, the correct sentence will be - While the lawyer's death did nothing to undo the damage that his note had caused to Cynthia, it at least eliminated her need for any further dealings with the miscreant.
