I run a solo practice, which means you work directly with me, not a junior associate, not an intake coordinator. Most matters are flat-fee. Most engagements start with a written email exchange, not a call. Quotes usually go out the same day.
Each area is a real engagement type, not a marketing keyword. Pricing reflects what I actually charge, not a placeholder.
Attorney-letterhead demand letters citing the specific statute and the documentary record, sent by USPS certified mail with signature requested plus email. Most matters resolve before filing.
Tenants and landlords. Lease breach, harassment under Civ. Code § 1940.2, security-deposit penalties, habitability claims, and wrongful-lockout statutory damages.
Demand letters with bad-faith penalty calculations under Civ. Code § 1950.5 (CA) or the equivalent statute in your state. Draft small-claims complaint attached for leverage.
Civ. Code § 789.3 lockout, utility-shutoff, and personal-property-seizure claims. Statutory damages, attorney fees, and a draft complaint attached.
Civ. Code § 1941, repair-and-deduct framing, constructive-eviction strategy, and rent-withholding analysis. Lays the foundation for either a counterclaim or an affirmative action.
Unpaid wages, overtime, meal/rest premiums, and waiting-time penalties (Lab. Code § 203). PAGA framing where the facts support it.
Bad-faith denial and delay under Cal. Ins. Code and Brandt v. Superior Court fee theory. Best paired with the letter-plus-draft-lawsuit package because carriers escalate fast when a complaint is attached.
Pre-suit Code Civ. Proc. § 364 notices and MICRA non-economic-damages cap analysis. Written attorney memo first, then a referral to a contingency litigator if the matter clears the threshold.
Charge drafting and right-to-sue strategy for FEHA, Title VII, ADA, and ADEA matters. Written memo before you spend time on a charge that the agency will dismiss.
Express written, oral, and implied-contract breach. The $1,200 letter-plus-draft-lawsuit package is the standard option when the other side has a lawyer or is institutional.
Redline markup with risk ratings, suggested replacement clauses, and a cover memo summarizing what to push back on. SaaS, NDA, employment, vendor, real-estate, and IP agreements.
MSA, Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, DPA, and AI Addendum drafted together as a procurement-ready bundle. For funded startups or platforms entering regulated industries.
AI use policy, ethics review, and Rule 1.1 (competence) and Rule 1.6 (confidentiality) compliance walkthrough. Adapts to whichever model stack the firm is actually running.
Attorney-prepared complaint, summons, civil case cover sheet, proof-of-service template, and a step-by-step instructions packet for your courthouse. You file. I do not appear.
Mark-to-market election analysis, opt-in timing, and election-statement drafting. Written attorney memo if you are not sure whether trader-tax status is realistic for your facts.
Delaware, Wyoming, and California formations. Filing plus operating agreement or bylaws, initial resolutions, EIN, and a registered-agent setup. State fees pass-through.
Written attorney memo on accrual, tolling, the discovery rule, and filing deadlines for your specific claims. Useful when you are not sure whether the window is still open.
Solo practice. Flat-fee work. No intake coordinators, no junior associates handling the file.
Send a paragraph describing the dispute, who the other side is, the amount at stake, the outcome you want, and any deadline. I'll route the matter and send back a scoped flat-fee quote.
