How a Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Promissory Note Agreement in Florida

In 2026, a business in Florida sought assistance with drafting a promissory note for a $100,000 personal loan. The client needed the document to not only confirm the amount lent in 2023 but also outline the interest that would accrue moving forward at a specified rate. Additionally, they required a repayment date of three months and intended to include collateral in the form of an apartment, along with stipulations regarding legal fees for any late repayments or potential lawsuits. As a result, the client received seven proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $475 to $1,250, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of less than a week.
