A letter to an attorney should be written in a formal letter format with the attorney's name, law firm and address at the top near the date, addressed using a salutation and signed off with a closing such as "Very Truly Yours" or "Sincerely."

Address an attorney as "Mr." or "Ms." in most contexts. In the salutation for a later or email, address an attorney the same way you would any other respected professional, using "Mr." or "Ms." followed by their surname. Generally, this is the best way to address an attorney if you've never spoken to them before.

Maintain focus throughout the process. Both intended and unintended audiences can read legal letters. Come up with coherent and consistent arguments. Use short sentences and paragraphs in your letter. Make sure your language has precision.

For a practicing attorney, you address them as "Esquire" or "Attorney at Law." For salutations, you can use "Mr.", "Ms." or "Mrs." followed by their last name.

For example: "Dear Mr. Jones" or "Dear Ms. Fisher" Position the greeting on the left side of the page. Follow the greeting with a colon, i.e. "Dear Ms. Fisher:"

How much a lawyer will charge you for writing a legal letter depends on the size of the firm, where you live, and how complicated your case is. According to our database of legal fees, an attorney practicing on their own will charge anywhere between $750 and $1,200 to write and send a demand letter.

Explain precisely what your request is. Mention the reason for the request. Use polite language and a professional tone. Demonstrate respect and gratitude to the reader. The content of the letter should be official. You may provide contact information where you can be reached.
