What you get
This is a focused written attorney consultation, not a templated reply. I read the materials you send, identify the real legal issues, and write back a response you can actually use to make a decision.
Issue spotting
The main legal questions in your matter, framed accurately under California law and applicable federal rules.
Risk and leverage
Where you are exposed, where the other side is exposed, and where the realistic settlement window sits.
Statute and deadline check
If a statute of limitations, notice requirement, or filing deadline is in play, I flag it with the citation.
Practical next steps
Concrete, sequenced recommendations: what to do this week, what to gather, what to avoid.
What it is not
So you do not pay $240 expecting something different, here is what this product does not include:
Not a demand letter
If you want an attorney-signed letter on firm letterhead sent by certified mail, that is the $575 Attorney Demand Letter.
Not a contract redline
Full drafting or redlining a contract is the $575 Contract Drafting or Redline package.
Not a full legal memo
This is a focused response to your question, not a multi-issue briefing memo or research memo.
Not litigation, filing, or representation
I am not your attorney of record in any court or arbitration matter unless we sign a separate engagement letter.
Good fit for these questions
If your situation looks like one of these, this is the right entry point:
How the process works
- Pay $240 through the PayPal link. This kicks off a short conflict and scope check on my end.
- Send the question and documents by reply email. Short factual summary plus the relevant contract, demand, notice, or correspondence.
- I read and respond in writing. Typically within 2 to 3 business days, sometimes faster.
- You decide what to do next. If you want me to draft a demand letter, redline a contract, or take the matter further, I quote the next step at the standard tier price.
Why written, not phone
A written consultation is usually a better deliverable than a 30-minute phone call: you get something you can re-read, share with a partner or co-founder, and reference when the next step happens three weeks from now. Phone calls disappear; written analysis does not.
If you specifically want a live conversation with screen sharing and document walk-through, the $400 1-Hour Zoom Strategy Session is the live alternative.

Request this packageFrequently asked questions
Is this legal advice or attorney-client privileged?
After payment and a short conflict check, an attorney-client relationship is formed for the limited scope of this written consultation. The response is privileged. Before payment, the page is attorney advertising and general information only.
What if my matter is more complex than $240 can cover?
I will say so. If the question is too broad or the documents reveal something that needs a deeper memo or a full demand-letter package, I will tell you in the response, refund or credit the $240 toward the next tier, and propose the right scope and fee.
Do you handle matters outside California?
For California-specific litigation, demand letters under California statutes, and disputes governed by California law, yes. For business contracts, SaaS terms, federal law, and IP issues that are not state-specific, also yes. For criminal, immigration, family, or out-of-state state-court matters, I will refer you out.
Can I ask follow-up questions?
One short clarifying follow-up by email is included. Substantive new questions or new documents are a new consultation or scoped at the appropriate package tier.
What if I prefer a live conversation?
The $400 1-Hour Zoom Strategy Session includes screen sharing and a preliminary review of documents you send before the call. Same attorney, same scope philosophy, live format.
