terms of use
The Terms and Conditions of Use (“Agreement”) are provided by Isaboke Law firm, PLLC (“Firm”), an online North Carolina law practice established in Charlotte, North Carolina and managed by attorney Liscah R. Isaboke, a North Carolina Board Licensed, solo practitioner. The Agreement will govern your use of this website, including all content provided on the website and through access to all online services provided by Firm. The Agreement to provide legal services to you covers the time period from which you accept this Agreement and we have received your payment through our funds transfer service to the time we have provided you with the requested and purchased legal service. You agree that it remains your responsibility to proceed as a pro se litigant by filing all legal documents and complying with North Carolina state and local legal procedures. By providing you with limited legal services, Firm has not agreed to attend a hearing or trial on your behalf or provide any legal services extending beyond those services which you have purchased and we have agreed to provide. We only provide limited legal assistance and document preparation and review. After performing the services purchased by you, we have no further obligation to you.
Limitation of Services. Isaboke Law Firm
Firm is geographically located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Unlike a geographically located law practice, Firm will not provide physical legal representation or commence litigation on your behalf. The purpose of Firm is to provide limited legal advice and general counseling on North Carolina legal matters with prompt service provided in a cost-effective manner. If we determine during our communication with you that your specific legal matter requires the engagement of a full-service law firm, such as in the event that your situation may require the commencement of a formal lawsuit, then we will promptly refer you to a full-service North Carolina law firm in your area or refer you to the North Carolina Bar Association’s Lawyer Referral Service. Firm is not a pre-paid legal service; it is an online legal practice where you are charged a one-time fee for limited legal services related to North Carolina law. Firm provides unbundled legal services. This means that the legal services provided by us only extend to those services of which you have requested and purchased and we have provided. 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. For example, if we assist you in creating Estate Administration documents, it is not our responsibility to ensure that the forms are properly filed, to attend a hearing or trial on your behalf, or to provide any other legal services related to that matter beyond the original purchased and provided limited legal services. Likewise, after you have paid for the requested services and we have performed them, we will not expect any further payment from you other than payment for the original requested legal services performed by us. As with any legal service, we cannot guarantee any legal outcome. By purchasing our services, you agree that it remains your responsibility to properly and timely file any legal documents and to comply with North Carolina state and local legal procedures.
