Limited Scope of Representation Agreement

Please read these terms carefully.  You are agreeing to a Limited Scope of Representation with a Lawyer for a Consultation concerning your matter.

Consultation

I agree the Lawyer’s Representation begins at the beginning of the Consultation and ends at the end of the Consultation.  I agree the Lawyer’s services are limited to the conditions defined below, and cannot be changed unless mutually agreed to in writing:

• One telephone call between the Lawyer and me no longer than approximately 60 minutes to provide advice and/or guidance with respect to my matter;
• Any materials I submit prior to the Consultation will only be reviewed by the Lawyer during the time constraints of the telephone call and not prior to or following the call;
• The Lawyer may provide advice and/or guidance with respect to subsequent actions I may take on my own behalf;
• The Lawyer may provide a referral to another attorney at which point the Limited Scope of Representation outlined herein will be terminated; and
• The Consultation is a one-time Consultation.

Scope of Representation

I agree the Lawyer:

• Does not have to give me more help than agreed in this Agreement;
• Does not have to help me with any other part of my matter;
• Does not promise any particular outcome;
• Relies entirely on my disclosure of facts and will not make any independent investigation unless expressly agreed to in writing;
• Will not represent, speak for, appear for or sign papers on my behalf;
• Will not make decisions for me about any aspect of my matter;
• May advise me that limited representation is not reasonable, and advise that I need more services or another lawyer.

Consultation Fee

I agree to pay, prior to scheduling the Consultation, the nominal $150 Consultation fee. 

Informed Consent
