DemandLetterNY, a service of Hochman Law PC, offers free New York tools built on the same statutes its letters cite. A claim checker and a statute of limitations checker show whether your deadline has passed (defamation expires in one year); others tell you whether a cease and desist letter or an order of protection fits, whether a broker fee paid after June 11, 2025 can be demanded back under the FARE Act, and which court hears a claim ($10,000 limit in NYC).
Deadline calculators, statute-of-limitations checkers, and exposure math built on the same New York statutes our letters cite. Free, no obligation: your email unlocks the first result, then every tool runs instantly. Each tool lives on its letter's page alongside the statute itself.
Pick your dispute, enter the amount and key date, and get the statute, the deadline math as of today, and an honest read on whether it's worth pursuing.
Every NY claim expires: defamation in one year. Pick your claim, enter the date, and see exactly where your filing deadline falls.
Four questions: whether a letter, a court order, or neither fits what is happening to you, and where to go next.
Four questions: whether the broker fee you paid after June 11, 2025 is one the FARE Act lets you demand back.
Which court hears your claim, its dollar limit ($10,000 in NYC), and the filing fee: answered for anywhere in New York.
