SCOPE OF SERVICES & LIMITATIONS

We are headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. We provide comprehensive legal representation in intellectual property matters nationwide and litigation services throughout North Carolina.

Intellectual Property Services – Nationwide Representation

We provide nationwide representation to clients in intellectual property matters before federal agencies, including:

• United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO): Trademark applications, office action responses, maintenance filings, and all trademark prosecution matters
• Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB): Opposition proceedings, cancellation proceedings, and appeals
• United States Copyright Office: Copyright registration, renewals, and related filings

Because intellectual property matters before these federal agencies are not limited by state bar admission, we are able to represent clients located anywhere in the United States in these proceedings.

Litigation Services – North Carolina

We provide litigation representation throughout the State of North Carolina, including:

• Business Litigation: Breach of contract, partnership disputes, shareholder disputes, business torts, and other commercial disputes
• Commercial Litigation: Contract disputes, collections, creditor rights, and business-to-business disputes
• Civil Litigation: General civil matters in North Carolina state and federal courts

Our litigation services in North Carolina include court appearances, hearings, trials, mediations, arbitrations, and all aspects of litigation representation.

Additional Legal Services

In addition to the above, we offer the following legal services:

• Legal document preparation and review
• Contract drafting, review, and negotiation
• Business formation and corporate services
• Fractional general counsel services
• Legal consultation and advisory services

Limited-Scope Representation

In some matters, we may offer limited-scope representation where we handle specific tasks rather than full representation. When limited-scope representation applies, you agree that it remains your responsibility to:

• Handle any tasks outside the agreed scope of our engagement
• Comply with all applicable legal procedures and deadlines for matters outside our scope
• Properly and timely file any legal documents if filing is not included in our services
• Attend any required hearings or court appearances if representation is not included

The specific scope of our representation will be defined in your engagement letter or service agreement.

Costs and Fees

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Firm will not pay court costs, filing fees, service of process fees, expert witness fees, or other third-party costs associated with your matter. You are solely responsible for all such costs unless our engagement letter specifically provides otherwise.

Referrals

If we determine during our communication with you that your specific legal matter falls outside our areas of practice or requires expertise we do not offer, we will promptly refer you to an appropriate law firm or to the North Carolina State Bar's Lawyer Referral Service.

No Guarantee of Outcome

As with any legal service, we cannot and do not guarantee any particular legal outcome. Past results do not guarantee or predict similar results in future matters. Each legal matter depends upon its own unique facts and circumstances.

ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP

Use of this website alone does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the Firm. An attorney-client relationship with this Firm is established only after:

• A specific question or request for services has been submitted to an attorney at this Firm through a prospective client's personal login page or other designated intake method;
• That question or request has been confirmed as received through a reply communication from an attorney at this Firm;
• We have conducted a conflict of interest check and determined no conflicts exist;
• We have expressly agreed to provide the requested services;
• You have received and accepted an engagement letter or agreement for services; and
• We have recieved and processed a retainer payment or a fixed-fee invoice payment from you.

Prospective clients should be aware that our duties of confidentiality and the attorney-client privilege may not arise until an attorney has expressly communicated the ability and willingness to respond to that prospective client and an engagement has been confirmed.

You acknowledge and agree that no partnership, joint venture, employment, or attorney-client relationship is formed as a result of merely using this website, and neither you nor Isaboke Law Firm has the power or authority to obligate or bind the other absent a formal engagement.

NOT LEGAL ADVICE

This website and the materials on this website have been prepared by us for informational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice. The information provided is general in nature and may not apply to your specific situation.

Receipt of information from this website does not create an attorney-client relationship. Do not act upon this information without seeking professional legal counsel. Legal matters are highly dependent on individual facts and circumstances, and you should consult with a qualified attorney before making any legal decisions.

The law changes frequently, and the information on this website may not reflect the most current legal developments. We make no representations or warranties about the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information provided.

CONFIDENTIALITY & RECORD RETENTION

Professional Standards

The attorney responsible for this website is licensed to practice law in the State of North Carolina. In compliance with the professional rules and restrictions of the North Carolina State Bar and the North Carolina Rules of Professional Conduct, and for reasons of personal integrity, this practice is bound by stringent professional standards of confidentiality.

Handling of Client Information

Any information received by us from our clients in the course of an established attorney-client relationship is held in strict confidence and is not released to anyone outside of this practice, unless:

• Agreed to by you in writing;
• Required under applicable law, court order, or legal process;
• Necessary to prevent reasonably certain death or substantial bodily harm;
• Necessary to establish a claim or defense in a controversy between the lawyer and client; or
• Otherwise permitted under the North Carolina Rules of Professional Conduct.

Conflict Checks

Once you have provided us with your personal information, we will first conduct a conflict of interest check before accepting representation of your matter. We may decline to provide our services to you if a conflict of interest is discovered or if we determine that we are unable to adequately represent your interests.

Record Retention

All client records are securely retained in electronic files, along with secure backups, for the period of years required under North Carolina law and the North Carolina Rules of Professional Conduct. Upon expiration of the required retention period, records may be destroyed in accordance with our document retention policy.

Pre-Engagement Communications

By entering this website, you acknowledge and agree that any communication or material you transmit to this website or to Isaboke Law Firm prior to the establishment of an attorney-client relationship may not be treated as confidential or privileged. Do not send confidential or sensitive information until you have received written confirmation that we have agreed to represent you.

ACCOUNT REQUIREMENTS

Eligibility

By using on our website, you represent and warrant that:

• You are at least 18 years of age;
• You are legally capable of entering into a binding contract with Isaboke Law Firm;
• The information you provide to us is correct, accurate, current, and complete;
• You will maintain and promptly update your information to keep it accurate and current; and
• You are not prohibited from using our services under any applicable laws.

Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to:

• Immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security;
• Ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session; and
• Not share your account credentials with any third party.

We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these security requirements.

Updating Your Information

We request that you keep your personal contact information current. After you have registered on our website, you may enter your personal information page at any time to review and update your personal information.

CLIENT FUNDS & PAYMENT TERMS

Fee Structure

This is a law practice where you are charged a fee for limited legal services. No fee will be charged or obligation incurred by merely registering on this website. The legal services provided by us only extend to those services which you have requested and purchased and we have agreed to provide.

Access to Services

After the client's payment of the agreed-upon price is confirmed through a Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP) compliant credit card processor, the client will have complete access to the legal advice, documents, research, or other services provided by the attorney.

Additional Services

If further communication with the attorney is required, the client may post a separate question regarding the received legal services or request a price quote for additional legal work. After you have purchased a service and we have agreed to provide it and have completed the work, you cannot expect us to perform in any additional capacity without additional agreement and payment.

Costs Not Included

The Firm will not pay any court costs associated with your case which may be required as part of a lawsuit, including but not limited to filing fees, service of process fees, deposition costs, expert witness fees, or any other third-party costs. You are solely responsible for all such costs.

Refund Policy

Refund policies, if any, will be specified in your engagement letter or service agreement. Generally, fees for completed services are non-refundable.

WIRE TRANSFER PROCEDURES

Wire fraud is a serious and growing threat. Criminals frequently attempt to intercept email communications and send fraudulent wire instructions to clients. To protect yourself:

• Always call to verify: Before sending any wire transfer, call our office at (704) 726-8914 to verbally confirm the wire instructions.
• We will never change wiring instructions via email: If you receive an email claiming to be from our firm with new or different wire instructions, presume it is fraudulent.
• Verify any changes: If you receive wiring instructions for a different bank, branch location, account name, or account number than previously provided, do not send any funds.
• Report suspicious communications: Contact our office immediately if you receive any suspicious communications regarding wire transfers.

Failure to follow this procedure endangers your funds. Isaboke Law Firm will not be liable for any funds lost due to wire fraud if you fail to verify wire instructions by telephone.

TECHNOLOGY & SECURITY

Secure Communications

We do not rely solely on email to communicate with clients. Email as it is commonly sent and received is unencrypted and does not provide a secure means of interacting with our clients. Primary communications are conducted through MyCase, a cloud-based client communication software operating over Secure HTTP (HTTPS), which provides you with industry-standard encryption and protection.

Payment Security

All online payments are processed by Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP) compliant credit card processors such as LawPay. No credit card numbers, bank account numbers, or other payment account information are stored on our servers.

Data Protection

We employ reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
