我理解 that Allegany Law Foundation, 公司. (ALF) is a volunteer referral program and does not guarantee it will find an attorney who will accept my case.
You are not an ALF client until ALF notifies you that your case has been accepted. There is no attorney-client relationship with any ALF staff or volunteer attorney until you and your attorney have signed a representation 同意ment.
我理解 that after my attorney accepts my case, my relationship with my attorney will be governed by the 同意ment between myself and my attorney.
我理解 that once ALF refers me to an attorney, the attorney may refuse to accept my case if my case is deemed to have no merit; accepting my case would involve violation of law or Rules of Professional Responsibility; I am not prepared or able to pay the court costs or other expenses necessary for proper handling of my case; or any other legitimate reason. 我理解 that failure to keep appointments or failure to cooperate with the attorney or staff at Allegany Law can result in services being discontinued and I may be ineligible for services in the future.
我理解 that ALF will seek to place my case with an attorney who will not charge me for representation, and that my attorney will seek waivers of fees and court costs for which I am eligible. I further understand that I am responsible for the payment of any and all non-waivable court costs, 广告费用, 亲子鉴定, or other fees that may arise in association with my case.
I authorize ALF to share any and all of my personal and financial records with my assigned attorney, law office staff, or legal or social service agencies to whom my matter is referred by ALF. I authorize my attorney to disclose to ALF any information that my attorney learns about my financial circumstances.
I hereby permit and instruct any attorney, law office staff, legal or social services agency to which this matter is referred by ALF to respond by 电话 or in writing to requests made by ALF for information about the facts, progress or outcome of my case.
我理解 that ALF may check the accuracy of the information I have provided about my household, 资产, 和收入.
If my financial circumstances improve during the time I am represented by an attorney, I will immediately inform ALF and my file will be reviewed for continued services. If I do not qualify based on eligibility criteria, I 同意 to negotiate a private fee with the attorney for continued representation.
我理解 that ALF may close my case at any time upon learning that the information provided is incorrect.
I authorize ALF to release the information provided during the application and intake process to persons checking to see that ALF has complied with the restriction on its funding.
I release Allegany Law Foundation, 公司. 及其军官, 董事, 成员, and employees from any and all claims, 损失, and liability arising out of any referral made by or through any of Allegany Law Foundation’s programs.
I authorize ALF to contact me through all communication outlets, including but not limited to mail, 电话, 电子邮件和短信, unless I notify ALF that I do not want to receive that communication type and I 同意 to keep ALF informed of any changes to my contact information
