A strongly worded letter written by a lawyer might be able to provide more results than if you try to deal with the legal matter on your own.
Once a legal matter occurs or a situation that has the potential of becoming a legal matter presents itself, the clock starts.
Whether it’s a statute of limitations or an eviction notice, failure to deliver a response in a timely manner could have dire consequences.
There are a wide variety of circumstances that can arise where a demand letter could be a necessary step in order to achieve a specific outcome. When to send a demand letter should be determined after a phone or in-person consultation with a lawyer. A consultation can help you learn about your legal options and any potential ramifications. Initial consultations are included in the Personal Legal Plan.
