The following is a statement of our Financial Policy, which we require you to read, agree to and accept prior to any services rendered.
• All clients must complete our “Client Intake Form”
• Full payment is due at the time of service
• We accept cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, AMEX
• We do not offer extended payment plans

Refunds
Our company is committed to providing legal document preparation service and mediation service at a flat fee to our client’s and as such we typically deliver initial documents within one to two business days following the payment for our legal document preparation services. Due to the expeditious turn-around time our refund policy considers the time and materials used before determining if a partial refund is available.

Legal Document Assistance Service
• Within the first 7 days of the purchase a review of the document(s) prepared is conducted to determine if a partial or no refund is available based on services purchases and services rendered.
• Within the first 7 days unused court fees will be refunded in full if the case has not been submitted to the court(s).
• After the initial 7 days of purchase a review of your document(s) prepared is reviewed to determine if any refunds are available.
• After 7 days unused court fees will be refunded if the case has not been submitted to the court(s).

• After 30 days services will be considered rendered and no refunds are available for document preparation services.

Time Equivalent of Preparation of Documents
Our flat fees are based on time equivalent (also known as time and material) used to prepare legal document(s) in an average uncontested case, taking into consideration the average communication (E-mail, phone call, or in-person) cycle and cost to prepare your documents(s) or agreement(s). The fees paid are also applied as a time equivalent. It is therefore possible and likely that no refund shall apply despite all documents not being completed.

• After 7 days if no mediation services are performed, scheduled, or utilized you will receive a partial refund of the fees collected towards administration cost in preparation of your case.

If you cancel the service, we will immediately refund any fees which you have paid us if no service has been prepared, delivered or performed. The only fees that we may keep are fees for services which we have actually, necessarily, and reasonably performed on your behalf during the 24-hour period. We will not keep any court fees for cases that have not been filed within 24-hours.
