INFORMATIONAL PURPOSE

ADVISEMENT PURPOSE

  3. You decide not to use the services of the Attorney.

Protect the Company. Protect the Creator. Protect the Brand.
Following your initial interview, if you agree to hire the Attorney, and the Attorney agrees to represent you, you will both sign an Agreement for Representation. The Agreement for Representation will set forth the terms and conditions of representation. If the Attorney is willing to represent you and you decide not to sign an Agreement of Representation today, you are strongly urged to schedule a second appointment with the Attorney at the earliest possible time or to immediately consult with other legal counsel to protect your rights. NOTICE: This office does not represent you with regard to the matters you set forth in this information sheet or discussed during your consultation unless and until, both you and the Attorney execute a written Agreement for Representation. If the Attorney does not agree to represent you, this includes not representing you with regard to the matter set forth by you on this information sheet, nor any other matters you may discuss with the Attorney during your consultation. If your legal problem(s) involve a potential lawsuit, it is important that you realize a lawsuit must be filed within a certain period of time called a Statute of Limitations. Therefore, the Attorney strongly urges you to immediately consult with another attorney to protect your rights. The Attorney’s decision not to represent you should not be taken by you as an expression regarding the merits of your case.
