Hello I hired a lawyer to send a demand letter and it has been over a month and a half. He tells me that the delivery has not been confirmed yet. My questions are 1. do we need a delivery confirmation? and 2. I believe he sent this regular mail, can we send this priority or overnight, something faster to get confirmation of delivery?
You should contact the lawyer you hired and ask him those questions. Garry Seltzer
You do not specify what type of demand letter. If a Notice of Intent then that must be sent certified mail return receipt. If a 'generic' demand letter, reflecting a demand for payment of an outstanding balance that does not have to be sent by certified mail. Even if such correspondence was sent via certified mail there is no obligation to respond. If you are owed money on a project for which the work was completed and accepted, you should review with your lawyer the best options to move forward to collect payment and protect your interests.
