Demand Letters

What are demand Letters?

 

It is simply a letter that one party gives to another, demanding something. Usually a demand letter is written by a Paralegal or a Lawyer. For example, you might send a demand letter requesting payment for unpaid invoices, damages to property, defamation/Reputation and etc.

 

The benefit of a clear and concise letter is that you might resolve the issue before proceeding to file a small claims court case. Sometimes by just sending a demand letter, the opposing party will understand that you are serious and are ready to file an action if the matter is not resolved.

Benefits of a demand letter:

  • It shows the other party you are serious;
  • It shows the court that you were acting in good faith;
  • It can save you money
