Writing legal demands in Texas without being an attorney? ?
I handle most of my own legal matters involving TCPA, FDCPA, FCRA and ECOA violations by either creditors or debt collectors respectively. And annoying telemarketer or debt collector calls. I write my own demands and usually end up with a settlement. In one case I dealt with an employer I had who didn't pay me the wages they owed, that was my only employment law issue I have handled. I am not an attorney, but do cite the laws that I believe were violated in the demands that I do send. My question is, if I am not an attorney and someone in my family or a friends wants me to write a demand for them, which would be signed and mailed by them would I be committing a crime in writing the demand for them? Or would it only be illegal if I accepted money for doing so? I am not expecting to be paid anything by friends or family that I help with their issues, if I am able to help them. Most of the time I end up getting an email once a company I send demand to receives it and they settle, usually pretty quickly.

There is no issue IF you never present yourself as an attorney, never claim to be an attorney, never refer to yourself as an attorney.
Sure, write all the demand letters y ou want.
