Demand letters
Three phases, priced separately so you only buy the pressure you need. Tap any card to see exactly what is included. Background reading: the demand letter service page and the free demand letter template library.
Phase one, escalatedSerious disputes
Litigation-Leverage Demand Package
$1,200flat fee
The demand letter plus a court-ready draft complaint or arbitration demand attached, so the settlement threat is specific and credible.
Phase two
Pre-Litigation Negotiation Phase
$1,500flat fee
When the other side responds and the back-and-forth begins: written settlement negotiation through settlement or impasse.
How the phases fit together. The $575 letter resolves straightforward disputes. The $1,200 package adds the draft pleading as leverage for serious or litigation-ready disputes. If the other side engages and negotiation continues past the included first-response work, the matter moves into the $1,500 phase. Filing a lawsuit or appearing as counsel of record is always a separate, separately quoted engagement, California only.
Prefer to send the facts before paying? The guided intake takes about two minutes and I reply with a scoped recommendation.
Contracts
One flat fee covers drafting from scratch or redlining what the other side sent, with three rounds of revisions included. More detail on the contract drafting page, or browse the free contract template library.

Have the document ready? Use the guided contract intake and attach the key facts; I reply with scope confirmation before any payment.
Consultations
Two ways to get my read on your situation before committing to a bigger package. The written consultation is the standard entry point; the Zoom session is for matters where live discussion genuinely adds value.

Live, one hour
1-Hour Zoom Strategy Session

How I work
Written intake, attorney drafting, written delivery. Everything documented, nothing handed off.
Written intake
You send the facts and documents by email or through the package intake. I run a conflict and scope check, confirm the fixed fee in writing, and tell you if a cheaper tier fits better.
Attorney drafting
I draft and review every deliverable personally. AI-assisted research and drafting tools run under my supervision as leverage, never as a substitute for attorney judgment on your matter.
Delivery, in writing
The deliverable arrives by email, with the revision rounds your package includes. Everything stays in writing, so you always have a record of what was advised and why.
Sergei Tokmakov, Esq., California Bar #279869, licensed since 2011. This page, the packages on it, and the AI Legal Analyst are all built and supervised by me. Not sure where your matter fits? Ask the AI Legal Analyst in the corner of this page, or email owner@terms.law with the facts.
Questions clients ask before hiring me
Straight answers on payment, process, and what these packages do and do not include.
How does payment work?
Each package on this page is a fixed flat fee paid through PayPal using the button on its card. For tiers without a posted payment button, email me first; I reply with intake questions and the correct payment link or invoice. I run a conflict and scope check before any work begins.
What happens after I pay?
You get an email from me at owner@terms.law with intake questions and a short document checklist for your matter. Work begins once I have the facts and documents. The deliverable arrives by email, and any revision rounds included in the package are handled the same way, in writing.
How fast is turnaround?
Usually 3 to 5 business days after I receive the necessary documents. Rush turnaround may be available for an added fee; ask by email before you pay so I can confirm the timeline for your matter.
Can you go to court or arbitration for me?
Filing a lawsuit, initiating arbitration, or appearing as attorney of record is a separate engagement, quoted separately, with its own written engagement letter and conflict review, and it is California only. The packages on this page are pre-litigation and document work.
The one exception is the Stripe AAA Arbitration Filing Package, which includes preparing and filing the AAA demand; representation beyond filing is quoted separately.
Will you review my situation before I buy a package?
The $240 Written Attorney Consultation is the entry point for exactly that: you send the question, a short factual summary, and the key documents, and you get a written attorney response on the issues, the risks, and which package actually fits. I do not offer free case evaluations or free document reviews.
Is the AI Legal Analyst giving me legal advice?
No. The AI Legal Analyst is an attorney-supervised AI assistant that provides general legal information and helps route your matter to the right package. It is not legal advice, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. An engagement begins only after my conflict check and written confirmation.
Send the facts. I reply in writing.
I work by written intake, not phone tag. Email the documents and a short timeline of what happened; you get a scoped flat-fee answer, and if a cheaper tier covers it, I say so.
