-
Q: How effective are legal demand letters?
a: Legal demand letters drafted by licensed attorneys are often highly effective. When a letter comes from a lawyer, it signals seriousness and credibility, showing the recipient that the sender is prepared to escalate the matter if necessary. It also tends to carry more weight than a letter from an individual because it is professionally written, legally precise, and harder to dismiss. Attorneys know how to structure arguments, reference applicable laws, and frame demands in a way that avoids common pitfalls. A formal letter from a lawyer often makes recipients think carefully about the risks of ignoring the issue, including the possibility of a costly and time-consuming lawsuit. In many cases, a well-crafted demand letter can open the door to settlement discussions and lead to a resolution without litigation. Sending one can also help formally establish facts and preserve legal rights for future court action if necessary. However, the overall effectiveness depends on factors like the strength of the underlying claim, how reasonable the demands are, the mindset of the recipient, and the tone of the letter. A firm but professional tone typically achieves better results than an overly aggressive approach.
-
Q: What types of letters can be drafted?
a: Fama Regis can network an attorney capable of drafting most any formal legal letter, including general demands, cease and desist notices, refund requests, contract dispute notices, defamation takedown demands, debt collection demands, employment dispute letters, intellectual property infringement notices, landlord-tenant dispute notices, breach of contract claims, privacy violation demands, harassment and cyberbullying cease-and-desist letters, personal injury claims, settlement proposal letters, and anything else within the scope of the affiliated attorney.
-
Q: Can the attorney refuse to draft a letter for my situation?
a: Potentially. Although rare, the networked attorney to your case may decline to proceed with drafting your letter at his or her sole discretion. In this case, a full refund will be issued.
-
Q: Will the attorney go to court for me, or esclate my case further beyond the letter?
a: It depends. Your assigned attorney is generally willing to assist beyond the initial scope of the demand letter service; however, this is handled on a case-by-case basis and typically requires a separate, formal payment arrangement outside of Fama Regis. Please note that Fama Regis is limited to facilitating the initial connection for the demand letter service. Any additional legal services are separate from your agreement with Fama Regis.
-
Q: Will I be able to review a draft of the letter before it gets sent?
a: Yes. A draft of the proposed letter will be made available to you digitally prior to recipient delivery. If the affilaited attorney does receive confirmation of acceptance within 7 (seven) calendar days, the letter may be sent to the recipient without your approval of the draft.
-
Q: What's the refund policy?
a: Fama Regis is unable to offer a refund after the intial draft has been completed and presented to you. In most cases, a full refund can be issued prior to this event.
