1.
Attorney Prime (hereinafter "we") provides legal document preparation services and attorney support for family law cases. We begin working on each customer’s case and preparing the legal documents as soon as the customer requests our services and makes an initial deposit or payment in full.
To ensure the highest quality of legal work in your legal documents, and to give you an increased chance of success, you should submit the following information to Attorney Prime as soon as possible:
2.
You hereby acknowledge that you are authorizing Attorney Prime to prepare the relevant legal documents to be with the court, and/or the appropriate government agency. These services include: Legal Information provided by our legal staff and through informative emails, Gathering Case Data Information, Research and Review by our legal department, Attorney phone and
email support, Review and Document Preparation by an Attorney, Instructions for Filing and Service of Process, Phone & Email Support and a Telephonic Court Preparation Consultation with an experienced Family Law Attorney. If you wish to receive the benefit of an attorney consultation, you agree to schedule the date/time of the consultation in advance with one of our customer support representatives.
The completed Data Questionnaire/Case Intake Form;
The most current Child Custody and/or Support Court Orders you have; and Any court paperwork served on you that may require a response (if applicable).
You are requesting legal document preparation services for a family law matter.
Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing between you and Attorney Prime, our services do not include the preparation of, or responses to, any discovery requests, as most family law cases do not require discovery to resolve the issue(s).
Washington state cases: For cases with jurisdiction in Washington state, we do not complete the financial and child support worksheet documents due to the detail and sensitive nature of the financial information involved. We will prepare all other required documents. We also will provide you with the necessary financial documents for you to complete.
Notice:
Certain jurisdictions have some free family law forms available to the public. Not all jurisdictions have forms available, and jurisdictions that have forms available do not necessarily have every form available for every type of case. You hereby understand and accept that, in certain instances, Attorney Prime may complete forms that are available to the general public because those forms may be necessary and/or the proper legal forms for your case. You understand and accept that you may be choosing to have Attorney Prime complete forms that you may, in some instances and jurisdictions, be able to complete yourself. You also understand and accept that, in cases in which some or all of your legal documents are publiclyprovided forms, your payment is going towards having them completed by an attorney and for the other services and benefits provided by Attorney Prime, including those set forth in paragraph 18 of these terms. Therefore, our completion of any free court forms that are available to the public is deemed satisfactory completion of our professional legal document preparation services.
3.
We will guarantee to correct any typographical errors that may occur in processing. You are also given an opportunity to request corrections to your legal documents. You have two options: (1) Any documents in WORD format can be changed by you. If you see any changes or corrections that need to be made, you are welcome to make those changes, as these documents are yours; or (2) You can email us with your request for corrections/changes.
If for some reason the courts want any adjustments to your documents, Attorney Prime will give you updated documents with any required revisions at no extra charge. You must contact us immediately to receive instructions on updating the documents. If the court does not accept the documents after we have had the opportunity to revise them, submit a written verification from the court that the documents are not accepted and you may be eligible for a refund. Due to changing laws and changes to documents, this guarantee is valid for 45 days from the date of your initial payment for our services.
4.
Court filing fees, if applicable, are charged by the court and are your responsibility to pay directly to the Court. Note: a court filing fee is a fee that is generally required with most actions filed with the court. This is a fee charged directly by the court to cover court costs and overhead. This fee has nothing to do with the services provided by Attorney Prime. If available, you may be able to qualify for a fee waiver. Our fee does not include any filing fees that the court may require.
5.
If your case requires the service of any court or legal documents to another party, which most cases do, you will be responsible for arranging payment and service on your own. You are responsible for locating and serving any party who needs to be served. We provide you with detailed filing and service instructions to make this process easy for you, and to save you time and money.
6.
You understand that Attorney Prime cannot guarantee any particular result, as every case depends upon many factors, including the discretion of the judge. Furthermore, it is unethical for attorneys to guarantee the outcome of any court proceeding.
7.
You hereby acknowledge and understand that you will be representing yourself in court, and that no attorney/client relationship has been established between you and Attorney Prime, or any of its attorneys or representatives. Unless otherwise set forth in writing between you and Attorney Prime, the services provided do not include any court appearance(s) by an attorney on your behalf. You understand that it is your responsibility to appear in court for any court appearances, or make arrangements with the court for a telephonic appearance if you reside a long distance from the court location. If you wish to have an attorney appear in court with you, you must specifically request that of Attorney Prime, pay an additional fee for the attorney court appearance, and have a written agreement signed by a managing attorney of Attorney Prime that you qualify for an attorney court appearance. Attorney court appearances are not available in all areas. Additional fees are required if an attorney court appearance is arranged. Fees vary depending on the location of the court. If applicable, ask Attorney Prime if an attorney is available where your case is located and the fee involved.
8.
You hereby acknowledge and understand that the information contained in the prepared legal documents will be based on the information that you provide to Attorney Prime. In addition, you hereby affirm that the information you provide is true and accurate to the best of your knowledge. As such, you hereby release Attorney Prime, and all of its attorneys, of any liability that could occur based on the information, or lack thereof, that you provide. If, during the process, your information changes, you agree to notify Attorney Prime as soon as possible. You have up to 7 days (or less if your case is timesensitive) after the receipt of your documents to request changes and/or corrections. If there is any change in information or your circumstances after the documents have been completed, it will be your responsibility to update in the documents.
