Litigation
Demand Letter
Florida
Costs threatened in a demand letter?
I recently received a demand letter from a person that I had a disagreement with. The letter stated that if I did not take certain actions, they would take legal action against me. The letter also mentioned potential costs associated with this legal action. I am wondering what the potential costs could be and what I can do to protect myself from incurring them.
Linda W.
The first question I would ask, is the nature of the dispute. Is it actionable? Does the person who sent the demand letter have any legal right to bring a lawsuit against you? Typically costs associated with a lawsuit are the filing fee and service of process/summons and possibly free judgment interest, depending on the alleged violation, if it is monetary.

C Corp
Ohio
C corp and indemnification?
I am the CEO of a small C Corp. Recently, my company has been sued by a customer for a breach of contract. I am concerned about the potential financial and legal implications of this lawsuit and want to understand the rules and regulations around C Corp and indemnification. In particular, I am interested in understanding how C Corp indemnification works and what I can do to protect myself and my company from liability.
Paul S.
Depending on the state where the company is incorporated, indemnification of directors and officers may be mandatory. In any case, indemnification only comes into play if this customer has named you personally as a defendant in the lawsuit. If the customer has done so, and you were acting in good faith within your role as a director or officer, the company should pay all your expenses in defending yourself, and any judgment against you if you lose. Of course, you should be hiring an attorney to defend the company (and you, if you are named) in this lawsuit. It's not a good DIY project.

How to determine jurisdiction for lawsuit?
I have a promissory note written in Montana that was breached. I am in New York. I am the borrower and my aunt is the lender; I have since discovered she wrote the note with unfair terms. I need the note voided. What do I do? I can’t find an attorney anywhere to take my case.
Ramsey T.
Hi - what does the contract say? We are looking for the choice of law clause. If the contract provides for NY choice of law then fantastic! You hire an attorney in New York, send them a demand letter and file in a New York State Court - on the day after the expiration date for your letter. Once you get your judgment in New York, you hire a collections attorney in Montana to go collect your judgement (if they won't pay up - its amazing how much they are willing to pay when you get a local lawyer to put a lien on their house!) If the choice of law clause says Montana - you can (i) be certain and hire a lawyer in Montana and follow the same process or (ii) be aggressive, hire and file in New York, just to ensure that they have to hire a New York lawyer to get the case dismissed. The second situation would be if you think they would rather settle with you than pay someone in New York to get the case dismissed. There is a lot of strategy to consider - but the most important thing in any of this is to be decisive and move forward with a lawyer quickly once you decide on a course of action. I've seen clients who had stronger cases lose in the end because the other side was aggressive in Court and had their lawyer on a retainer immediately and filed before my client could finish "considering her options."

Demand Letter
Georgia
Can I draft my own demand letter?
I recently received a letter from a company that I have a dispute with. The letter was a demand for payment of a certain amount of money, and I am not sure if I should respond to the demand or not. I am considering writing a demand letter of my own in response, but I am not sure if I am legally allowed to do so and what the potential consequences could be.
Bobby H.
Although engaging a lawyer is preferred, there is generally no legal prohibition against a non- lawyer making his/her own demand or respoding to a demand provided you do not threaten violence or bodily harm or use any other language which may give rise to criminal liability. However, if the amount the claim is undisputed, and depending on the type of claim, there are provisions which allow a court to award the person making the claim his/her attorneys fees in addition to the amount of underlying claim if a demand is rejected under circumstances if the case goes to court. Thus, use of an attorney is again advised but generally not legally required.

Demand letter before litigation?
I am considering sending a demand letter to a company that I believe has wrongfully taken money from me. I want to know if a demand letter is necessary before I can pursue litigation against them. I have already sent them a letter asking for the money back, but I haven't received a response. I am now considering taking legal action and want to know if a demand letter is necessary before I do so.
Gregory F.
No, a demand letter is not necessary before filing suit, but a demand letter sent by an attorney can carry more weight and be more effective than one you send on your own. I suggest you consult with an experienced Georgia litigation attorney, such as myself, to discuss your specific situation before deciding on your next steps.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
