Your cease and desist or demand letter will only cost a flat rate of $299! There are no hourly fees, retainers, hidden costs or pressure to buy other services.

Your attorney will only be responsible for creating and sending one letter, and they will not provide any other services or legal advice. If, for example, you receive a response to the letter and need advice, or if you want to file a lawsuit, that will not be covered. You can continue working with the same attorney but you will both need to agree to a new engagement outlining a new scope of work and the fees the lawyer will charge.
One of the reasons the lawyers can offer their services so affordably is by “unbundling” the letter from the usual full slate of services a lawyer provides. Think of it as ordering exactly what you want a la carte versus an entire buffet of things you don’t need.

There’s no catch! Our model is designed to result in savings and efficiencies for both you and the lawyer. It can cost on average anywhere between $500 to $2,500 for a solo practitioner or law firm to write and send a letter. Your final bill is usually a mystery at the outset. Law firms will have their associates, paralegals, research staff and others billing by the hour, in addition to charging for “disbursements” such as costs for shipping, copying, telephone calls, etc.

Not only that, but in many situations lawyers will require you to pay a large upfront deposit in the form of a retainer. The costs associated with a sending a simple letter can be staggering. Perhaps most scary of all, your actual final bill will be unknown and prices can vary wildly from firm to firm.

There are many reasons however why these services are justifiably expensive, such as the high cost of client acquisition and general inefficiencies of the practice of law. Lawyers spend considerable time, effort and expense developing their business. Lawyers also have major overhead costs for things like office rent, furniture, assistants, computers, specialized software, etc.

At Demand Letters, we’re working hard so that the system works better for everyone. No one wants to pay $200 to over $1,000 per hour to have their attorney complete a simple task. And on the other side, lawyers want an easier, cost-efficient way to find clients and work. We are part of the growing industry of “unbundled” legal services – meaning providing exactly the services you want at a reasonable cost, and nothing more. If you need further services after sending the letter, you and the attorney can mutually decide to continue working together, which is another added benefit.

Every attorney we work with is fully licensed by the relevant state, a graduate of an ABA-accredited law school, and is in good standing with their respective state bar associations. Our system will also match you to an attorney familiar with the type of legal letter you need.

No. Demand Letters is neither a lawyer nor a law firm and therefore cannot give legal advice. Only licensed attorneys can provide legal advice.

All information provided to Demand Letters remains private and confidential. The information on your intake questionnaire is shared with the attorney you are matched with. Note however that we are not lawyers and any communications you have with us are not subject to attorney-client privilege. Please read our Privacy Policy for more information.

There could be several reasons why you didn’t get matched. There may not have been an attorney qualified to produce the letter you requested at the moment in your jurisdiction. Or, the attorneys in our network may currently be at capacity. We are always expanding our network of attorneys so please check back with us in the future. If we can’t match you to an attorney for any reason, you will immediately receive a full refund.
