You tell me what happened. I research the law, draft a demand letter that gets results, and send it via USPS certified mail with signature requested. $575 flat fee for the letter — or $1,200 if you want a court-ready draft lawsuit attached as leverage.
Email me what happened and I will take it from there.
Every demand letter includes a draft lawsuit. This is what makes the other side respond.
These are anonymized examples from recent client work. Every letter is done by me personally, with state-specific legal research and a draft complaint attached.
Client ghosted after final delivery. I drafted a demand letter citing breach of contract with a draft complaint for unjust enrichment. Client paid $26,500 within 9 days.
Landlord claimed "general wear and tear" damage. I cited California Civil Code §1950.5 and demanded treble damages. Landlord returned $3,800 plus $1,000 in statutory penalties.

"Sergei drafted a demand letter for $12,000 in unpaid invoices. The client paid within a week of receiving it. The attached lawsuit draft made all the difference. Worth every penny of the $575."
"Stripe had $31,000 of my money locked for 4 months. Sergei's demand letter cited specific provisions of their ToS and payment services regulations. They released the funds in 12 days."
"My landlord kept $3,500 of my deposit with bogus deductions. Sergei's letter cited CC §1950.5 and demanded treble damages. I got my full deposit back plus an additional $1,500 in penalties."
The $575 flat fee covers a single attorney-drafted demand letter on firm letterhead, legal research, USPS certified mail (signature requested) plus email delivery, up to two client revision rounds before sending, and review of the first response with a short next-step recommendation. The $1,200 Litigation-Leverage Demand Package adds a court-ready draft complaint or arbitration demand attached as settlement leverage. Continued negotiation after a substantive response is the separate $1,500 Pre-Litigation Negotiation Phase. Multi-letter or multi-target matters are quoted separately. No hidden fees.
Most disputes settle after receiving an attorney-drafted demand letter with a lawsuit attached. The combination of legal research, statutory citations, and a credible filing threat makes the other side take it seriously. I cannot guarantee a specific outcome, but the response rate is high.
3-5 business days for standard turnaround. Rush (24-48 hours) is available for +$150. I will give you a timeline before starting.
If they do not respond within the 30-day deadline, you have options: file the lawsuit (I can prepare it for pro se filing at $1,250), escalate to a litigator, or pursue other remedies. The demand letter establishes your legal position regardless.
Yes. I send demand letters nationwide via USPS certified mail with signature requested. Each letter cites the laws of the state that governs your dispute. I'm CA-licensed, so for filing outside California I refer you to local counsel.
Email me a short summary of what happened, the amount you are owed, and any supporting documents (contracts, invoices, emails, photos). I will ask follow-up questions if I need more.
