To help you with your legal matters, you, the client, and Courtney & Mills, LLC, the lawyer, agree that the lawyer will limit the representation to helping you with a certain legal matter for a short time or for a particular purpose.
The lawyer must act in your best interest and give you competent help. When a lawyer and you agree that the lawyer will provide limited help:
• The lawyer DOES NOT HAVE TO GIVE MORE HELP than the lawyer and you agreed; and
• The lawyer DOES NOT HAVE TO HELP WITH ANY OTHER PART of your legal matter.
While performing the limited legal services, the lawyer:
• Is not promising any particular outcome; and
• Is relying entirely on your disclosure of facts and will not make any independent investigation unless expressly agreed to in writing in this document.
If short-term limited representation is not reasonable, a lawyer may give advice, but will also tell you of the need to get more or other legal counsel.
I, the lawyer, agree to help you by performing the following limited services listed below and no other service, unless we revise this agreement in writing.
Preparation of Petition for Dissolution, Acknowledgment of Service, Affidavit, Judgment, Parenting Plan (when applicable), Property Agreement, and Quit Claim Deed (where applicable). Legal service is limited to preparation of documents only. Client understands lawyer will rely on information provided by client and will not do an independent investigation. Lawyer will not provide advice outside of the preparation of documents.
CLIENT'S CONSENT
I have read this Notice and Consent form and I understand it. I agree that the legal services listed above are the ONLY legal services to be provided by the lawyer. I understand and agree that the lawyer who is helping me with these services is not my lawyer for any other purpose and does not have to give me more legal help. If the lawyer is giving me advice or is helping me with legal or other documents, I understand the lawyer will stop helping me when the services listed above have been completed. The address I have given above is my permanent address where I can be reached. I understand that it is important that the court handling my case and other parties to the case be able to reach me at the address after the lawyer ends the limited representation. I therefore agree that I will inform the Court and other parties of any change in my permanent address.
In exchange for the Lawyer's limited representation, I agree to pay the attorney's fee and costs described above.
