Q: Does it seem correct to charge someone $1500 to write there ex husband a demand for money owed to her when house sales
Repayment for the remodeling done on house for it to sale. I want reimbursement and have receipts
A: In Georgia, charging $1,500 to draft a demand letter to an ex-husband for money owed from the sale of a house, specifically for reimbursement of remodeling expenses, can be considered reasonable depending on several factors. These factors include the complexity of the case, the amount of money involved, the lawyer's expertise and reputation, and the geographical location. Legal fees vary widely, and this fee might cover not only the drafting of the letter but also the initial consultation, review of the receipts and any agreements regarding the remodeling expenses, and the potential negotiation efforts following the demand.
