What is an Attorney Written Demand Letter?

A demand letter is a powerful legal tool in the early stages of a civil dispute. An attorney written demand letter lays out the basics of a dispute and gives the other party a chance to resolve the dispute before legal action is taken. In a demand letter, we will communicate your concerns and request a solution that benefits both parties. We can use your demand letter to outline your side of the story, the basic facts of the situation at hand, and what you are looking for as a remedy.

How Much Does a Demand Letter Cost?

A demand letter written by an attorney from Roger G. Jain & Associates, P.C. typically costs in the range of $1,200 – $2,000 depending on a variety of factors. This price includes the following:

A 30 minute consultation with an attorney;
Defining a clear synopsis of the problem, people involved and your position;
The legal rationale for your demand, supported by your relevant documents or evidence;
The options you will accept for resolution;
A clear deadline for a response and the potential legal action you’re prepared to take;
Tracked postage to the respondent.

Additionally, we will follow up with you should we hear back from the business or individual and explain your options at that time. It’s important to know that in order to send a demand letter, the above mentioned items must be clear and concise and we can’t make any guarantee as to a response or resolution in your matter. Many clients find that after sending this letter, the other party is willing to cooperate and compromise.

Key Components of a Demand Letter

attorney writing letter A thorough demand letter will contain several key components. It’s important to include the proper components in a demand letter—people are growing increasingly well-educated in legal matters, and a rushed or poorly-written demand letter will likely be tossed to the side or outright ignored.

First, you need to identify the parties involved in the legal dispute. Include names, addresses, the date of the incident in question, and the date that the letter was sent. Next, you should include a detailed account of the events that led to the dispute at hand. Leave emotions out of this timeline; stick to the facts and provide any evidence you have to support your claims.

Even if a party knows that they are in the wrong, they generally won’t take measures to correct the issue if there’s no reason to believe that other consequences will follow. That’s why you want to include the legal basis for your letter and demands. Specify which laws or parts of your contract support your position – this is one of the main reasons you want an experienced lawyer to draft the demand letter for you. An attorney will know what laws apply, and what the potential consequences are if the other party does not comply.

Specify the type of relief you are requesting and provide a clear deadline for when you expect relief to be delivered. Depending on the situation, the relief you request may be financial compensation, stopping a certain activity, repairing damages, or publicly correcting a false statement.

You can wrap up your demand letter with the legal action you plan on taking if they do not respond by the deadline. This should highlight your willingness to take further legal action if they do not comply.

Why Attorney-Written Demand Letters Are More Effective

Having a Houston business lawyer write your demand letter is often far more effective than writing one yourself. An attorney knows which terminology to use and which laws to reference to give your letter the legal weight it needs to convince the other party of your claims. Additionally, the fact that you connected with an attorney to issue a demand letter shows the other party that you are serious about your demands and that you have already thought of your next steps should they refuse to cooperate. A strong attorney knows how to phrase demands and concerns in a way that encourages the other side to respond favorably and quickly.
