A: Attorney Letter: The "price range" is dependent upon: (1) how many documents/emails/photos/invoices/back-charges/contracts and subcontracts/discussions are implicit in the task, and (2) is the client intending the attorney "ghost write" the letter as compared with the attorney becoming "of record". Most attorneys will analyze the client's replies to these two questions (for free), and then offer a Flat Fee to accomplish the task of drafting the legal demand letter. My experience, after 35 years of practice and related experience in performing a LOT of demand stage correspondence, is that the range is usually between $400.00 and $500.00, so long as the client is not asking for additional tasking thereafter as part of that Flat Fee.

A: The cost of an attorney's letter can vary widely depending on various factors, including the complexity of the issue, the attorney's hourly rate, the jurisdiction, and the specific circumstances of the case. Simple letters requesting information or clarification might be less expensive than more complex legal matters that require research, drafting, and legal analysis.

Attorneys usually charge by the hour, and rates can range from $100 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their experience and the region. Some attorneys might offer fixed fees for specific services, including drafting letters.
