Start with an attorney-built intake. Continue directly with me.

Most fixed-fee deliverables are completed within 2 business days after scope is confirmed and all needed documents are received, unless we agree otherwise. Rush turnaround is available; mention it in your intake message.

For a demand letter: a short description of what happened, the other party's name and contact info, and any supporting documents (invoices, contracts, screenshots). For a contract review: the agreement itself in PDF, Word, or even a photo of the pages.

I am licensed in California. I often handle contract review, business documents, and pre-litigation demand work involving parties outside California when the scope is appropriate. I screen jurisdiction, governing law, forum, and local-practice issues before accepting the matter. Court filing, appearances, or representation outside California require separate review and may require local counsel.

When you request attorney review or submit a paid-matter intake, I personally review the matter and reply with whether I can help, the proposed scope, the fee, and what I need next. No obligation until you say go.

No. The AI Legal Analyst provides general legal information to help you understand your situation. It is not legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. When you are ready for attorney-level work, I take over personally.

It depends on the matter. The Attorney Demand Letter covers one demand letter on firm letterhead, USPS certified-mail (signature requested) delivery, up to two client revision rounds, and review of the first response with a short next-step recommendation. For straightforward disputes. The Litigation-Leverage Demand Package is the letter plus, where appropriate, an attorney-reviewed, case-specific draft complaint or arbitration demand tailored to the identified facts and forum, attached when the recipient needs to see that filing is a real next step. Nothing is called court-ready until that document has completed attorney review. Neither base package includes counter-letter, ongoing settlement negotiation, or settlement agreement review. If the other side responds with counsel or a conditional settlement offer, a separate Pre-Litigation Negotiation Phase runs through settlement or impasse. Filing and representation are a separate California-only engagement, quoted after scope review. Current flat fees for each tier are listed in the packages section above.

I follow up with one short notice that the deadline has passed and you are prepared to escalate. If they continue to ignore it and you want to file, that is a separate engagement. If you have the Litigation-Leverage Demand Package, the draft complaint or arbitration demand is already tailored to your case and forum, which makes the filing step efficient. If you started with the standard attorney letter, I can prepare the complaint as a next step.

That moves the matter into the Pre-Litigation Negotiation Phase, a separate flat-fee phase for serious disputes. It includes review of the response, an attorney counter-letter, written settlement negotiations through settlement or impasse, and draft/review/revision of one settlement agreement or mutual release for the dispute. It does not include filing, arbitration initiation, court appearances, discovery, or enforcement.

I don't do free quick calls, free initial consultations, or free document reviews, even for large or ongoing work. My practice is writing-first so the facts, documents, and advice stay organized and reviewable. Start with the free AI Legal Analyst or the Written Attorney Consultation; when a live discussion is genuinely useful, book the Zoom strategy session.
