Presuit Demand Letters and Negotiation
Oftentimes, immediately filing a lawsuit to address a wrong is not the best course of action.
Before filing a lawsuit, our firm tries to obtain settlement money through a demand letter. We proceed on the basis that the best results are achieved by communicating in a frank, but courteous manner under the pressure of time-limit demands to achieve a resolution. Oftentimes, a case that would normally go straight to filing of a lawsuit can be settled by a demand letter from our office and follow up negotiation with the other party.
In the absence of governing law, a pre-suit notice letter should at a minimum:
(i) Describe the factual allegations in sufficient detail to place the other party on notice about the basis of a lawsuit;
(ii) Identify all of the potential defendants and other parties who are entitled to notice;
(iii) Recite applicable Florida law;
(iv) Provide the defendant with a time-limit to cure the problem and/or settle the case outside of court; and
(v) Be sent by a reliable method of delivery.
Our office provides demand letter and negotiation services for a reasonable, flat fee. Contact us for a free case review to see if a pre-suit demand letter is a good option for your situation.
