What are Demand Letters?
Quite simply, it’s a letter where a party is demanding something. Typically, it’s written by an Paralegal or Lawyer. And typically, the letter is demanding a person stop doing something that’s illegal or start doing something that they’re required to do. For example, you might send a letter when another party in a contract is breaching the contract. And the letter would say, “We demand that you stop breaching the contract.” Or, for example, a letter might say, “We demand that you stop infringing my intellectual property rights.”
One benefit of a clear, concise letter is that you might not have to go through the trouble of filing a small claims court case. Even if you have already unsuccessfully argued with your adversary in person or over the phone, laying out your matter in a letter shows action. The other party must face the fact that you won’t simply go away. And if you sue, it will take time and energy to defend a case. Even worse, you might win. In short, your chances of getting the result you want will increase when you make your case by sending a demand letter.
By sending a demand letter we let the our customer know that we were serious and would not go away. After many ignored phone calls and emails they finally paid their outstanding invoice without the need to go to court

Why Use Demandletters.ca?
A demand letter shows the other party you’re serious.
Let’s say your business is engaged in a dispute with another company. You’ve made phone calls and sent e-mails. Angry words are exchanged. The other company may think you’re not going to pursue the issue legally. A demand letter makes the possibility of a lawsuit “real” for the other company. Perhaps for the first time, the other party will have to weigh the possible consequences of not complying with the demand.
Did you know that the information in a demand letter may be used against you?
If you do wind up in court, a judge will read the demand letter. Being insulting or threatening can hurt your case. So can demanding an unreasonable amount of money.
The wording of a demand letter is important. You also want to ensure any demands made are in compliance with all applicable laws. In additon you also want to ensure the wording of the letter does not result in a waiver of your rights.
Our demand letter wizard will walk you throught the process of creating an effective demand letter. Better yet when you have it reviewed by a Precision Paralegal team member they can advise you on correct wording with the demand letter.
A demand letter is generally seen by the court as a sign of good faith.
The letter shows that the party sending it wants to resolve the issue and isn’t wasting valuable judicial resources. Courts like to see that efforts have been made to settle disputes. Sending a demand letter by certified mail (with return receipt requested) and by regular mail provides proof that you made the effort. In some cases, sending a demand letter is required before going to court.
