Client unhappy

What do you do when you know that the advise you are giving is correct, but your client doesn't agree?
In my current situation, I have a client paid £641 a month, however he is not the director, he is the directors spouse. I have raised a concern that they are breaking NMW legislation, and he said that it is fine as he is self employed and the driving agency pay him £10 an hour, I advised that as he receives a payslip each month and has tax deducted (tax code is not 944l) he is employed, not self employed. Also the agency pay the ltd co £10 an hour, ltd co pays employee 641 a month.....
Previous accountant seems to have classed him as a director, his wages are classed as Directors Salary in the TB.
He insists that the way they are running the company is fine, I have advised him to get some specialist employment law advice as the company cold get fined for not paying NMW.
This has all been done through email so I have proof that I have advised them correctly, but I can sense that he is really unhappy in his replies, is there anything else I could do to make the situation better?
