a demand letter that actually gets a response.
One fixed price, in writing, before anything happens. A template gets ignored; a letter on law firm letterhead, signed by a real attorney, gets a phone call.

why templates fail
The person who owes you money has done this before. They can tell a DIY letter from a real one in five seconds — because a DIY letter means you haven't hired a lawyer yet. Ours means you have. That single fact changes the math on their side of the table.
what you get for $500
An attorney reviews your invoice and contract, drafts the letter, signs it, and sends it on our letterhead. You approve everything before it goes out. If they still don't respond, we quote the next step — negotiation, or filing — before taking it. One flat number, in writing, every time.
who this is for
Contractors chasing a GC. Agencies chasing a client. Wholesalers chasing a buyer. Startups chasing a customer. If a business owes your business money, this is the letter — and if your claim isn't worth pursuing, we'll tell you that straight instead of taking your $500.
How much does a demand letter from a lawyer cost?
At grep.law, $500 flat — drafting, attorney review, signature, and sending included. No hourly billing, no retainer. Many firms charge $1,500–$2,500 for the same letter because they bill it by the hour.
Do demand letters actually work?
Most business disputes resolve after a lawyer's demand letter, because it signals the next step is a real filing. Payment, a phone call, or a negotiation usually follows within days — litigation costs the other side far more than your invoice.
What happens if a demand letter is ignored?
You escalate with leverage: the letter documents that you demanded payment and they refused, which strengthens a later case. We quote the next step — negotiation or filing suit — at a flat price before anything happens.
Demand letter or small claims court — which first?
Usually the letter: it's faster, cheaper, and resolves most disputes without a courtroom. If your claim fits small claims and that's genuinely the better path, we'll tell you — honestly, right away.
